Don’t use the JREl which is completely and utterly useless for our purposes.
Use the JDK, because Fink needs to build against Java.. We’ll try to make that

And apologies for the websites that we _have absolutely no control over_, but
we try to do the best that we can at the time a given fink version is released.
