Installing OpenJDK 8 via yum/Puppet?

[Daniel Bryant]

Many thanks Mani.

The Ops team where I'm currently consulting have agreed to compile the 
OpenJDK from source and put it in the local yum repo, but in case they 
don't get on well with this then I'll sit with them and use your 
instructions.

I'm guessing with the speed (and lack of concern at complications) at 
which they agree to build the OpenJDK probably means they haven't built 
it before ;-)

Thanks again!

Best wishes,

Daniel
