Add JRE8

The stable version of the JRE offered by Oracle is that which is made available from java.com. Newer versions are made available elsewhere by Oracle for developers to test against their software. That isn't to say that once a stable version is available it will only be available from java.com, it's just that this is a useful way to judge the stable version. For example currently JRE 7 is available but the version offered from java.com is 6.0u29. If you deploy JRE 7 you may find it incompatible with the software that requires it, for example LibreOffice 3.4.2 is incompatible with the initial release of JRE 7.0.
