I have some good news on this point. This was just sent to openjdk
minutes ago:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2015-February/011684.html
Now, you'll see no mention of making this available on JDK8 in this
email, but if you click on the JEP link you'll see:
XF> As Java SE 8 had released, we cannot update public APIs to Java SE 8

That will have to do for the moment. Please know that the JDK team is
aware of the need for this on JDK 8, but priorities dictate that we work
on JDK 9 first.
