Per Oracle, JDK 7 is at end-of-life.

An updated (or separate) version of java-installer.tcz for JDK 8 would be great.

I successfully created my own. Roughly from memory I must have

tce-load -i java-installer
tce-load -i squashfs-tools
mkdir java8-installer
cp -R /tmp/tcloop/java-installer/* java8-installer
... Edited file replacing 7 with 8 in just a few places. I also updated the UPD default.
mksquashfs java8-installer /mnt/sda1/tce/optional/java8-installer.tcz

The last line assumes that your persisted extensions are mounted on /mnt/sda1 --

Thanks anno! I'll try this out.

You might also consider adding this as a new extension to the repository.

Don't assume where extensions are located.
The tce directory is /etc/sysconfig/tcedir .
