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 :)
