Installing OpenJDK 8 via yum/Puppet?

[Mani Sarkar]

Daniel,

I found these (see attached) on my MacBook and also came across the Centos
VM, so in case you have issues with yours you can always get a copy from me
its about 8GB uncompressed.

The instructions are in the form of a scratchpad, so not well formatted, if
its unclear let me know.

Cheers,
Mani
