Once OpenJDK 8 is in the Ubuntu development version, then it may be possible to request that it be backported to 14.04. At some point these packages will be uploaded to the Debian and Ubuntu development repositories. Some preview packages have been built and are available for testing, see the announcement on the debian-java and Ubuntu openjdk mailing lists. This may happen during the 14.10 development cycle, but there is no set schedule as far as I know. They "will be available soon", as the JDK 8 project page says, for some definition of soon.įirst, the OpenJDK 8 packages will land in the Ubuntu development release. As of the time of this question, there are no OpenJDK 8 packages in the official Ubuntu repositories for any Ubuntu release. To automatically set up the Java 8 environment variables sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default Sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y Hence the below method no longer works and exists because of historical reasons. More information can be found on PPA's page on Launchpad. Thus this PPA doesn't have any Java files. Note: WebUpd8 team's PPA has been discontinued with effective from April 16, 2019. I recommend you to use Webup8 Oracle Java8 Installer If you really want to use OpenJDK, you have to compile from source. OpenJDK 8 backport for trusty ppa:jochenkemnade/openjdk-8 OpenJDK builds (all archs) ppa:openjdk-r/ppa I found two repository but I do not recommend
Editors note: This answer is outdated as the PPA’s listed are not available anymore.
