I've update the locker version of the Java Development Kit on Athena to
the production 1.8.0 release, but not as the default version. To run it
now:
add -f java_v1.8.0
javac file.java (and similarly for all the other JDK commands)
Local documentation is at https://web.mit.edu/java_v1.8.0/www/index.html
I plan to make it, or a newer patch release, the default after the end
of Spring term.
Alex
