There are various non-GUI debugging tools (jps, jstack, jstat, etc) that only come with the -jdk package, yet are very useful for debugging on servers. The compilation tools (javac) are very useful in headless CI environments. It's kind of a shame that we have to pull all these X11, Gnome and other sound-system dependencies on a lot of servers, all for nothing.
