Installing OpenJDK 8 via yum/Puppet?

[Mani Sarkar]

I had built it on CentOS sometime back but CentOS unlike Ubuntu has a
steeper learning curve.

The instructions are the same as for linux (as available on our Adopt
OpenJDK wiki), if I can find the specific instructions I'll post it back on
the list.

Cheers,
Mani
