Yes I figured this out during testing, both are available. I just
included the default one to run this first build since the
install_java.sh was empty :)
In this case I think it is better we explicitly install the
version we want rather than relying on the default-jdk
pacakge.
Is there a reason we want openjdk-7 apart from being a newer
version?
openjdk-7 is much more Sun compatible than openjdk-6, in fact
AFAIU Oracle has made openjdk-7 mainline for java 7.
Ok in that case I suggest we use openjdk-7 for alpha2 and see what
happens...
Why version 6 is still the default in ubuntu?
dunno. you'd have to ask ubuntu. probably the path of least
pain for them wrt the existing distro pkgs which are not
sun6->openjdk7 refugees.
thanks,

ps- if any install script is including its own jre copy, that's
unfortunate and it should stop.
