With this change, java packages will build with openjdk by default. The primary driver for this is legal: The build farm is not allowed to distribute the proprietary Oracle jdk6, and so it is not allowed to distribute any packages that depend on it. In my view, this is a purely beneficial change: from the perspective of the build farm, packages will go from undistributable due to licensing to either distributable or undistributable due to failed build (if the package doesn't build properly with openjdk), and from the perspective of the end user it is very easy to override the jdk on a package-by-package basis or for all of nixpkgs in the nixpkgs configuration.
