Building java

[Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@topic.nl>]

Someone in our project decided he wanted Java on the board, so I just added 
"meta-java" to the layers and attempted to follow the README.

So without a clue as to what I'm really doing (I haven't touched Java in 15 
years) I added these to my local.conf:

# Headless java
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_classpath = "classpath-minimal"
# Possible provider: cacao-initial-native and jamvm-initial-native
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-initial-native = "cacao-initial-native"
# Possible provider: cacao-native and jamvm-native
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-native = "jamvm-native"

And of course added meta-java to bblayers.conf.

I added "openjdk-8" to the image's things to install, and let things build.

While building "openjdk-8-native", things went south, and I get the following 
error message:

ERROR: no configure script found at 
/home/mike/projects/.../build/tmp-glibc/work/x86_64-linux/openjdk-8-native/72b05-r0/jdk8u-e8bed1496ff2/configure


What did I do wrong?



(Note: the board does not have a display, so I don't need/want x11. I tried 
building openjdk-7 instead, but that fails to parse because it requires x11 in 
the distro)


Kind regards,
