Gradle 4.4.1 package missing alternative dep to Java8

[Andreas Schildbach]

Please provide the (alternative) dependency to openjdk-8-jre-headless again like the Bionic package did. For a lot of developers Java8 still matters (Android developers for example), and forcing them to install the Java11 packages always leads to compatibility problems.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

I tested all my projects in the Gradle 4.4.1 / OpenJDK 8 combination and I can say it's compatible. So there is no reason to not allow an alternative dependency to OpenJDK 8.

For more information see issue 1820389.

Cool, thanks! Works well so far (both Bionic and Cosmic).
