copying from mail from Tim Reynolds -- need to upgrade this stuff

I'm using latest greatest chefdk, which uses Chef-Zero

My berks install:

…
Resolving cookbook dependencies...
Fetching 'chefdk_getting_started' from source at .
Using apt (2.7.0)
Using yum-epel (0.6.2)

Using chefdk_getting_started (0.1.0) from source at .
Using openssl (4.2.0)

.kitchen.yml
I was getting loads of failures for dependency apt-get updates.
I tried 13.04 also but still tons of problems.
finally I changed to Ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04

tomcat_spec.rb:
Newer chefdk uses Serverspec v2, which requires the following changes
replace

require 'serverspec'
include Serverspec::Helper::Exec
include Serverspec::Helper::DetectOS
with
require 'serverspec'
set :backend, :exec

metadata.rb

added
depends "java"

/attributes/default.rb

I tried a bunch of things here, but in the end went back to your version.

override[:java][:openjdk_packages] = [ "openjdk-7-jdk", "openjdk-7-jre-headless" ]

override[:java][:openjdk_packages] = ["openjdk-7-jdk"]

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'openjdk'
default['java']['jdk_version'] = '7'

Running kitchen test and/or verify works,
however the recipe java::openjdk takes a verrrrry long time
