last night  I had poudriere try build jdk8 but that required jdk7 
which didn't build.

I think itwanted jdk6 or maybe bootstrap-openjdk.

whatever it needed (it said it couldn't make a java vm) it didn't do it.


I thought poudriere would set up everything needed.. Is there anything 
special needed to compile the jdk?


I got my jdk8 by dropping a jdk7 package into the packages area. but 
such manual intervention shouldn't be needed...
