First, add the jessie-backports repositories by using this command:

sudo apt edit sources

Add this line to the file:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

Then save the file and update the package database with:

sudo apt update

Finally, install the package with the backports repository targeted:

sudo apt install -t jessie-backports openjdk-8-jre

I have split your question into it's own thread as others may find this useful

ah, lovely. Thank you.

Sorry I didn't put it in its own thread in the first place

No problem, I have marked the thread [SOLVED] -- you can do this yourself next time by editing the title of the first post in the thread
