[chef] Tomcat Cookbook and Oracle JDK

[Douglas Garstang < >]

I was taking a look at the tomcat cookbook for chef, https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/tomcat.

It installs the OpenJDK. It doesn't seem to have a facility to change that to the Oracle JDK. I look a look inside the tomcat recipe and yep, it's got:

include_recipe "java"

The java cookbook can install the Oracle JDK, but the defaut installs the OpenJDK. Is there a way I can override this without modifying the java or tomcat cookbooks?
