Hi Tiago,

unfortunately we won't make it with our port into the JDK8 GA release.
The current plan is to have the port in the first JDK8 non-security
update release (probably 8u20) which is planned to be release about 6
month after the GA release.

This is all for Java 8. For Java 7 there are no plans to integrate our
port into the main 7u codeline. Nevertheless we are trying to keep the
code in our http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/jdk7u repository
up to date (currently it should be at the level of 7u40).

And of course nobody will prevent you from building your own
distribution from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/jdk7u and/or
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/jdk8 :)

Regards,
Volker
