[chef] sun java install apt-get update

Hi *,

What a difference a day made :-(

Yesterday i finished a chef config which worked well. Running it today i get 
caught by external dependecies:

(/var/chef-solo/cookbooks/java/recipes/sun.rb:32:in `from_file') had an error:

`action_add'

so I searched the mailing list and found there is a apt recipe with a cache / 
cache-client config

so is it possible to pre-load apt with external apt_repository information 
and share this on a client run?

what would it take?  A instance with apt::cache and a recipe which does add 
this repos?
