Oracle JDK

Oracle's Java JDK appears to work well when unzipped on an alarm system. Is there a reason that Arch offers it in their x86 AUR but alarm doesn't?

Licensing requirements on the ARM platform from Oracle states that we can't redistribute it.

Huzzah!

It turns out that the jdk package in Arch's AUR only handles i686 and x86_64, but that there is a second package there, jdk-arm, that does the same thing for armv6h, armv7h, and armv8. I was surprised to find an arm-only package in the main AUR repository, but there are a handful and jdk is one of them.
