JDK 8 support at DIY cartridge in OpenShift

Question

I know WildFly cartridge doesn\'t have JDK support, but can I somehow install Java 8 at experimental DIY cartridge? java-1.7.0 is the latest version available at /usr/lib .<

Answer 1

Java 8 is now available by default with DIY. You just need to set PATH as given below in your /.openshift/action_hooks/start.sh

export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.8.0
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
