In the GPO itself you can mark a package to be installed after the removal of a previous version as well.
I don't recommend using GPOs to push software, especially software that is updated so often and found vulnerable so often, because you will have little information on how successful the deployment is. One day or another, you will end up with a bunch of workstations still running an old Java, or maybe stuck without Java. (One could argue - is that really a bad thing? I guess it is if it's really needed). If you do use GPOs because you don't have anything else, consider using something else (maybe something as simple as a script) to output some information about the version of java on each workstation, and monitor those logs.
