Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

[Ted Neward]

Errr….. What’s the difference, again?

I cloned java.net/jdk8/jdk8, which is what I thought was the correct repo—is there a new URL? I haven’t done this in a while, so I jumped onto Google and took the first URL in a description that seemed correct. Am I trying to clone the wrong repo?

    You're not trying to build jdk8/jdk8 instead of jdk8u/jdk8u, right?
