Taylor, et al,

Appreciate the feedback. However, my searching (14 registered 
repositories, RHEL and SL documents, RHEL/SL 6 releases of java 1.8 and 
security updates) finds no SL 7 supported rpm for java 1.8.

So, does RHEL/SL 6 java 1.8 release work on SL 7 or has it been packaged 
for RHEL/SL 7? If for 7, it seems not to be in an SL or RHEL repository?

Thanks again,
Mark Hansel
