That's a good example of the cluster.. so many thanks to the Oracle legal department for disallowing redistribution..

FWIW, I maintain my own apt repository for oracle-java7-{jre,jdk,etc} packages. If you want to build proper deb packages for Debian/Ubuntu (I'm sure there's a similar project for RPM-based distros) (there is also some sort of Ubuntu PPA that does a similar build, but I don't do random PPAs):

 git clone https://github.com/rraptorr/oracle-java7.git
 cd oracle-java7
 sh ./prepare.sh
 dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us

and install the packages in that you want (just the jre, the jdk if you are building/testing, etc.)

Throw 'em in an apt repo for installation on many machines  :)
