Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

Changing it up just a touch….

I got it to build fine inside of Ubuntu 16 (and, just for kicks, Kubuntu, since I prefer KDE as a GUI) without flaw.

But when I try to do it in a Docker image, I get a weird configure error: “Could not find cpio!”

Googling around reveals that cpio (as far as apt packaging is concerned) is replaced by tar, which is definitely in the image. And I didn’t run into this problem when I was doing in a real VM (as opposed to Docker), so I’m a little surprised by all this.

On top of that, I just got an OpenJDK 9 image to build fine inside of Docker right before I started to do the same for 8.

So…. Any thoughts?

BTW, if you want to have a look at the Dockerfiles, they’re at https://bitbucket.org/TedNeward/docker . (I put all the images that aren’t part of applications or platforms into this one repo. I find it easier to keep track of them that way for demos and stuff.) They’re in openjdk8 and openjdk9, respectively.

    That is just Byzantine enough to be true. :-)
    
    I had a feeling the answer was going to be something along the lines of “Reasons—and backwards compatibility reasons” or so, and that pretty neatly fits into that category, so…. Got it. :-)
    
    Thanks! Downloading source now and trying again. (I knew it had to be something stupidly simple on my end.)

        jdk8/jdk8 is the 'historic' source code 'archive' for the development of 
        JDK 8. JDK 8u is what happened since in the updates.
        
        JDK Release Projects like JDK 8 have a special status in Bylaws (see 
        http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#jdk-release-projects) while 'regular' 
        Projects like JDK 8 Updates do not. So updates end up being separate 
        Projects with separate repos.
        
        Well ... you asked. ;)
