You can find version 8 as jdk-devel and jre-devel in the AUR.

Arch is not a distribution that holds your hand, but it has very good documentation. You are required to invest some time in learning and reading the wiki.

My favorite three AUR helpers is yaourt, cower, packer.

Installing yaourt is quite simple, just add repository to pacman.conf:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

and then

pacman -Sy yaourt

then yaourt -S AURpackagename

Re: Java JDK 8 Installation?

I was just looking for a Linux Distro that has high performance and lightweight for gameserver purposes only.. This is the most complicated distro I have ever used.

The basic thing I need is Java installed and then I can run the .sh files to start my gameservers.

Thanks again!

Managed to fix it now! smile
