Re: Recipe for Java, JRE or JDK

I nowadays just get the binary RPM from Oracle's website, uncompress it
with rpm2cpio + cpio, move the contents to /Programs and SymlinkProgram it.
I never cared to automate the process, but it should be doable.

A while back I wrote a recipe to build the HotSpot JVM from the sources,
but I doubt the recipe is up to date with that package's current build
system.
