I validated that it worked with Flex and Royale compilation. Overall it
was an easy replacement.
-Downloaded the OpenJDK from [1] and unzipped it into a folder.
-Updated the JAVA_HOME environmental var.
-The system path for the %JAVA_HOME%\bin folder stayed the same since it was
already using a %var% name.
I'm fine with choices, it turns out both the Oracle version and the Open
version are mostly the same anyways. I just think we should update "Building
Royale" docs like the README to include the download location for the Open
version as well. Since the free Royale download should encourage a free
Dependency download vice having the pay license version as the default.

IMO, it would be great for volunteers to validate that Royale compiles on Open
JDK and later Java versions so users have a choice of those as well as Java 8
(for a little while longer), and fix any bugs to make it work on all 3. It
would be best if we didn't have to pick one official version.
