Build Machine(s) & Java

[Chris Jones]

Unless I am mis-remembering Apple stopped shipping any java version with 
OSX a while back. So unless you manually install something the build 
bots will not have any java version available. versions now should be 
downloaded direct from Oracle.

I believe if you just run `java` in a terminal, it will provide a pop up 
that wll take you to the correct download location for that OSX release.
