need ideas for how to name incremental jdk builds to be findable by /usr/libexec/java_home

[Scott Kovatch]

Are you building the JDK yourself? If so you want to set

export JDK_UPDATE_VERSION=04

and then you'll see 

Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
    1.7.0_04, x86_64:	"OpenJDK 7"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_04.jdk/Contents/Home
