The detection system worked just fine for me when last I checked it (a couple
of weeks ago).
When you say “Apple’s latest java”, does that mean the legacy SDK?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572>
Your package list suggests not.
What java is needed depends on the package. Some packages just want _a_ Java,
and some won’t build using Oracle’s. Other older packagers may want
system-java16 because at the time it was the newest option.
