Enough of that already. Why I chose the "java-8-jdk" naming comes from the fact that "java-8-openjdk" sounds like we're trying to do "java-<major version>-<project name>". The project name of JDK is not "Oracle JDK", and that's why I chose it. Now, OpenJDK apparently still calls these projects by their "base name"[3], but _I_ would still prefer (read: I don't "refuse"; I prefer) having packages called "jdk8-openjdk" and "jdk" that install in "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/" and "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-jdk/", respectively.
This also means we can currently do:
$ man java-openjdk8 $ man java-jdk8
To access the man pages.
For what it's worth, I support this naming scheme. Kind regards, Marcel
