I read your ticket (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17669) and understand now. If they are only offered the JDK and not the JRE broken out on its own, we can switch the dependency to the JDK. I'm not sure why they didn't just alias that since the JDK is the only way to get a JRE now.
