OracleJDK 8 is no longer available on the Mac

[headius]

The following build for jnr-posix shows that Java 8 does not appear to be working on OS X builds.

It also appears that "openjdk8" failed to enable on Linux.

OpenJDK 8 is not yet available. It will be available on our next (not yet planned, unfortunately) updates.

Ok, I'll take that one out for now.

We recently got a OSX build box on Travis, and at the same time, our open source projects are considering moving to Java 8 as the minimum supported version (also known as "the only supported version", we don't have enough devs to man multiple ones), since Oracle Java 7 is no longer supported cross-platform since a few months ago.

So, +1 on getting an upgrade :-)
