They should just use openjdk in this case (which is the default JDK
nowadays, so if you install any java app, it will be pulled in by
default if you don't have one installed already).

If you insist on using the proprietary sun java or a different JDK,
you are indeed on your own. But at least you will be aware of it,
instead of using potentially obsolete packages from the distro.
