Comment 4 for bug 1297065

It would be great if it could land at least in Trusty, so that we don't have a LTS version where the only available Java version is quite outdated. I expect many Java programs to require Java 8 some time while Trusty is still supported.

In fact, I am also a Java developer, and we will surely switch to Java 8 somewhere in the next 2 years. As most of our users are based on LTS versions of Ubuntu, having Java 8 in Trusty would be a major improvement for us.
