Until now, JPRT has used a rather hacky workaround when building using the new makefiles (build-infra). A special maketarget "bridgebuild" has been used to run configure and translate a select set of env variables to configure arguments. This limits the ability to change the configuration of jprt builds from the jprt command line. It also increases the difference between how a local build and a jprt build is done.

JPRT was recently enhanced to support running configure and handling configure arguments for the build. Activating this feature for jdk8 requires some minor changes to the jdk8 makefiles and jprt.properties.
