It includes jre6, but will also be checking the packages (although it
doesn't list them in the diagnostics, which could be improved).

It should be testing for the "Darwin" packages "openjdk-7-jre" and
"openjdk-8-jre", which (since Darwin isn't a real package manager) are
hard-coded here:

https://github.com/0install/0install/blob/42e9fcf6debee1cc595c37f102a7cf0cb21fd858/ocaml/zeroinstall/distro_impls.ml#L430

It looks like the code is missing support for Java 8.

Anders - should this just be added in the obvious way, following the
pattern for 6 and 7?
