[chef] Setting Java 7 as default Java using the cookbook

[Eric Herot < >]

Hi Chefs,

Re: the Opscode Java cookbook.  Specifically:

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/java/blob/v1.15.4/recipes/openjdk.rb#L44

Does anyone know why it only agrees to run update-alternatives when the java version gets a priority of 1061?  This seems to be preventing Java 7 from being set as the default on my system because apt (or at least I think it's apt) gives it a default priority of 1051.  Is it safe to override this or will I encounter dragons?

Thanks,

Eric
