I don't have any myself, but there should be many hpkgs of 1.7 around
(maybe even 1.8). Isn't there one on Haiku Depot? It's possible these
packages no longer run on recent Haiku builds, but it might be
possible to work around this with various hackery.

If there are no working JDKs to use I think the best bet would be to
cross-compile from Linux. Support for cross-compiling is supposedly
much improved in JDK 1.8, so it might not be too tricky.
