Thanks jingle. Actually I am running a server on my old machine running Linux mint 15. I am unable to install openjdk 8 on that machine. Now I have two options:
1. Upgrade the old machine by installing Ubuntu 16.04. (Have to stop server and also risk of data loss)
2. Switch development machine from Deepin to Ubuntu 16.04 (Openjdk 7 is still supported)
I have just started using Deepin and I don't want to switch back to Ubuntu. Is there some other way out?

debian  sid can't support  openjdk-7-jdk,but debian experimental support openjdk-7-jdk,so you can add it to try
ex : http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian  experimental  main non-free contrib
