+A separate "rhino" package is no longer needed because Java 8 contains

You will also need to install apache-ant if you want to compile OpenJDK
yourself. In the past, xalan and xerces were needed separately as well

Furthermore, you will need to have the following Apache Ant related packages
installed before starting the compilation of OpenJDK.
* apache-ant
-* rhino
Please note that after installing apache-ant you will have to logout and
login again to initialize the ANT_HOME environment variable.
-Only the "rhino" package has to remain on your system in order to *run* OpenJDK.
Apache-ant is only needed during the compilation and can optionally be removed
afterwards (but why should you).
