Hi all! I have just recently installed CentOS on my little server box. I am in the process of transferring my servers from Windows Server to Linux/CentOS, and I'm running into a small problem.
I checked "Install java" when I was installing CentOS because I thought it would speed up the process. However, it installed Java 7, and I need to use Java 8 because our code uses a bunch of new features in Java 8.
What is the easiest way to update? I have tried "unininstalling" java and installing java 8 JRE, however "java -version" still outputs "1.7.0_75".
Any ideas? Thanks!

I see that the java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.51-1.b16.el7_1.x86_64.rpm package is currently available from the updates directory.
Perhaps just try yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk . . .
