That's exactly the problem. We need to use a modified version of java-1.8.0-openjdk with extra provides and adjusted priorities for alternatives. Blocking java-1.7.0-oepnjdk may also be required. This makes it impossible to scratch-build Java packages using f21-build target in current state. > >> Copr could be a better place to do the rebuild.

Java 8 change does *not* require mass rebuild in Fedora.
