opendj-openam's Issues

Redundant JRE package resource?

At https://github.com/indykish/opendj-openam/blob/master/recipes/single_instance.rb#L13
you do an explicit install of JRE 7, using apt dependency management.

package "openjdk-7-jre" do
        action :install
end

But you have already declared a chef dependency on Java in metadata.rb:

%w{ java }.each do |cb|
  depends cb
end

Is this not clashing? Because you suggest with chef that you have a dependency on the "java" cookbook. But Java is fulfilled by installing a .deb package - not via Chef.
