## Java implementations in EuroLinux 8

The EuroLinux 8 AppStream repository includes:

- The `java-21-openjdk` packages, which provide the OpenJDK 21 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 21 Java Software Development Kit.
- The `java-11-openjdk` packages, which provide the OpenJDK 11 Java Runtime
Environment and the OpenJDK 11 Java Software Development Kit.
- The `java-17-openjdk` packages, which provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime
Environment and the OpenJDK 17 Java Software Development Kit.
- The `java-1.8.0-openjdk` packages, which provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.

## Batteries repositories

Batteries repository contains packages that are needed to rebuild the
distribution but are not included in any upstream repositories. Right now,
this repository includes more than 3000 packages for each buildroot.

## Known issues

- The AppStream is is about 15GiB. After long discussion and feedback we
decided to keep it RHEL like way, where AppStream ISO is so full because it
can be used to mount repositories used for mirroring and system. We are
sorry but current state (mostly modularity) make things extremely hard to
manage without breaking user experience.
- Due to evolution of build process update for **SCAP Security Guide** are delayed now. They are going to be delivered soon.

## Gaia build system

We are currently using Gaia 3.0 and preparing 4.0 with branding kit.
