Java: Switch to bach for installing and managing JDKs #976

Open

Description

@BanzaiMan

In travis-ci/travis-ci#9368, user @sormuras mentions bach, which aims to set up *JDK environments. This effectively replaces our webupd8-package-based Java cookbooks and jdk_switcher for switching Java runtimes.

See travis-ci/travis-ci#9368, travis-ci/travis-build#1347

Pros:

  1. It is not dependent on a third-party packager, who seem to lag in supporting more recent JDK releases.

Cons:

  1. It is a change.
  2. May not play well with existing Java installations.
