--- Description ---
Hello world :-)

I am kindly request for OpenJDK 8 JRE package for Linux-RL9. This is requir=
ed
by older programs requiring java.se.ee that are supposed to work on the
Linuxlator layer. java.se.ee was removed in Java 11 (see
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/11u-relnotes.html) so Java =
10
should also work.

Debian 11/12/13 has this as nvidia-openjdk-8-jre.

For the RL9 is probably this one:
https://rockylinux.pkgs.org/9/rockylinux-appstream-x86_64/ant-openjdk8-1.10=
.9-1
5.el9.noarch.rpm.html

It would be nice to also add package with latest (25 and 21 LTS?) openjdk-j=
re
to linux-rl9 :-)

Thank you :-)
Tomek
