<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to java at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 210894: java/openjdk8: bootstrap from its own version
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210894



--- Description ---
While building openjdk8 in poudriere, it has a long bootstrap chain:
bootstrap-openjdk -> openjdk7 -> openjdk8, that takes too much time.

Is it possible for us to have other packages, like bootstrap-openjdk8,
for openjdk8 can use itself as bootstrap jdk?
