You might be talking about "icedtea-web" [0], the browser plugin that enables some Java interpretation inside browsers? This is yet another project provided by the IcedTea team.
Indeed. Thank you for the clarification.
Could you provide an openjdk8 package without IcedTea? Isn't necessary to put that in the repos, just to test what would be missing/broken.
Cheers

Sure! I will need to finish it first of course and will let you know. Should not be long. I do not expect much breakerage if any.
Also I asked on the IcedTea ML to get an idea of when they think this release could happen.
Ok so answer from IcedTeam team [0] is they should relase "Hopefully in the next month. It depends how involved the security errata is next month."
I am thus going to keep on working on a package *without IceTea* in case we want to test/release it and prepare one *with IcedTea* ready when this release is out.

So as previously announced, here is an early version of OpenJDK 8 without IcedTea [0]. Sources of the package can be found here [1]. It is currently split into `jre8-openjdk` and `jdk8-openjdk` that currently declare a conflict with other JRE/JDK packages (I am working on an simple way to enable installation of multiple Java environments). Any tests feedback by those of you interested would be appreciated (I have just noticed I forgot man pages for JRE binaries on this package - will be fixed).
Thanks

Split versions of JRE/JRE-headless/JDK for both architectures are available here [0] for testing. Sources available here [1].

Hello, For people interested, here are the last versions of the "java providing" package I have been working on recently: http://pkgbuild.com/~guillaume/repos/jdk/ Packages in this repo are: - OpenJDK Java 8 packages (without IcedTea) - OpenJDK Java 7 packages (with IcedTea) - Oracle Java 8 packages (from binary tarballs - written as a proof of concept for other Java vendors) - "meta" package to enable installation of all the previous java packages None of these packages conflict with any other. This is intended in order to support multiple Java environment version as well as vendors. They all rely on a link /usr/lib/jvm/java-default-runtime that can point at any of these java home. One can either (un)set this link manually or use a rather trivial script 'archlinux-java' provided by 'java-runtime-headless'. As a reminder, one can use the provided – totally unsupported – repo by adding the following on pacman.conf: [galaux_jdk] SigLevel = Optional TrustAll Server = http://pkgbuild.com/~guillaume/repos/jdk/$arch -- Guillaume
