JDK 8 support for Wildfly 8.1 OpenShift cartridge

Question

Still no Java 8 (JDK) support for the OpenShift Wildfly 8.1 cartridge? Is this a limitation of the SELinux gear? Or can I just create a Java 8 JDK cartridge and a modified Wildf

Answer 1

OpenShift currently does not support JDK8 yet.

Once it will be added WildFly cartridge will be updated to add support for it.

There is also running discussion about this on wildfly-dev mailing list.

Answer 2

As of june 3rd, there is JDK 8 support for wildfly. See https://www.openshift.com/content/support-for-jdk-8#comment-39656

As can be read here: https://community.jboss.org/people/fjuma/blog/2014/06/03/wildfly-810final-on-openshift--with-jdk-8-support new wildfly instances from scratch will default to JDK 8.
