Is it possible to fetch this from conda?

Does this work? https://anaconda.org/channels/main/packages/java-1.8.0-openjdk-el8-x86_64/overview

[SirRGB]

Sounds really nice, but Id rather go for something more well proven and audited, which this doesnt really imply:
Total Downloads
25

[sounddrill31]

yeah, I kind of agree... I'll see if they have a better package

Update: how about openjdk==8.0.472 from https://anaconda.org/channels/conda-forge/packages/openjdk/overview? These are zulu openJDK builds, I think, according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/72366938

[SirRGB]

lgtm, description says it is zulu too.
Last updated in dec 2025 and 15k downloads is good ig.
We could also go the weird way and tell people to download the jdk and export some variables, which is independant of python. I do so for dockdroid and it just works. :)

I've used pixi(by prefix.dev) for a while now and if the package exists on conda, the process becomes trivial.
Something like pixi global install condapackagename, or even better:

pixi init # initializes pixi project
pixi add condapackagename # adds it to pixi.toml

then

pixi run yourcommandhere

or

pixi shell # enters a shell with that package set up 
yourcommandshere

I'm not sure if this works in an android build environment but if it does, it will make a lot of things simpler

Pyenv is dead simple as well one set up (you can do it using a single shell script).
pyenv install 2
pyenv global 2
Thats what Ive been using for dockdroid

true... Objective is the jdk though: This is a big pain point for legacy builders!

The python thing was personal curiosity, since we're playing with paths here
