Fails to install Oracle JVM

[mheffner]

Using:

  :java => {
    :install_flavor => 'oracle'
  },

I get:

[Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:51:48 +0000] INFO: Adding jdk to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_30

Seeing what the file is I get:

$ file /tmp/chef-solo/cache/jdk-6u30-linux-x64.bin

/tmp/chef-solo/cache/jdk-6u30-linux-x64.bin: HTML document text

I'm surprised this is still open; it's because Oracle requires you to accept a license agreement, and to have a cookie set to do the download. The cookbook has been updated to reflect this.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way around it; just keeping the file locally is obviously the most straightforward idea.
