Error in extra/java/ SlackBuild


Hi,

I'm not sure whether this has been posted here before, but I couldn't seem to find it.

The current SlackBuild in slackware64-current/extra/java/ has few minor errors related with the fact that Oracle has changed how they name and organize their archives. For instance, they used to use
Code:
jdk-8u201-linux-x64.tar.gz
but now they use
Code:
jdk-12_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Also (and more importantly) they no longer ship JRE with JDK. This affects largely the directory structure of the archives.

Yeah, I wouldn't try to use that slackbuild with anything after JDK8. (In fact, I don't.)

I'm using JDK8, so I haven't really got a problem. I just wanted to make sure this was a known issue.
