(with archive files downloaded from providers listed below)
Supported java binary distributions currently include:

- The Java Development Kit (JDK), version 6, 7 and 8

Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives (_not_ RPM).

openjdk-[78]-jre, which are installed by default-jdk or default-jre for
most architectures.
