[Bug 1385842] Re: icedtea-8-plugin not available for openjdk-8

[Angel Guzman Maeso]

Any progress for Wily (15.10)?

I came from:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/491995/icedtea-plugin-for-openjdk-8

After I update openjdk-8

sudo apt-get install -y --install-suggests openjdk-8-demo
openjdk-8-source visualvm openjdk-8-jre openjdk-8-jre-jamvm fonts-
ipafont-gothic fonts-ipafont-mincho fonts-indic

The only missing package  is icedtea-plugin-8.

Eclipse 4.5 works indeed better with openjdk-8 and some apps like
"Eclipse Optimizer" and "JRebel" are recommending this upgrade. Would be
nice if some ubuntu worker could sync this package from debian and raise
the priority since Ubuntu is the distro preferred for a lot developers
and could increase the ratio for develop new apps based in new java
version.
