I need old versions of Java docs and JDK [SOLVED]

[mounty1]

Got these messages when attempting to install Netbeans (for work purposes, you understand):

Code: Select all

Fetch instructions for dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.8.0.202:

These versions are so old that even Oracle don't provide them any more. Can anyone supply?

You have four choices:

• copy the ebuild in your local overlay changing name in oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.221
• create a oracle login and dowload 8u202 from archive
• switch to dev-java/icedtea(-bin):8 or dev-java/openjdk(-bin):8
• wait package version bump
