I know it's working on the rPi, how about the Pine64?
p.s: I only found openjdk-7 but that's probably good for now, thanks
apt-cache search java
The above line will show you all packages related to java available from apt-get. I see over 2600 packages that mention java.
As far as what works on rPi and comparing it to what is available for the Pine64, people need to step back and understand a few things.
The Raspberry Pi has been out for over 4 years. The Pine, hasn't finished it initial shipment. This is a huge difference in terms of development and maturity. The folks working to get us working OS's are doing a fantastic job, especially those working on the linux solutions with virtually no support or reason to do so other than the love of what they do.
The Pi is backed by a non profit that is trying to spread education, which gets tons of backing from for-profit companies looking for good press and a write off.
The Pi has some of the same issues we are/will be facing in regards to parts of their platform is not open, thats why Android still to this date wont run on the Pi in a usable manner.
As for up to date code, it takes time, and maturity(of the os and hw platform) and support from a community. The Pi is running a much more mature kernel. Even with that, last time I checked the Pi3 was still not running a true 64 bit version of an OS.
It is a shame that during the kickstarter so much of the marketing push was on how the Pine64 compared to the Pi2 and those before it. We are now waiting for the Pine folks to deliver the functionality on the HW they sold us.
