Description

bin/bootstrap_development.sh uses OpenJDK. At least for Ubuntu 16.04, Oracle Java 8 is available and can be installed via apt-get: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html

In the Jenkins job, the machines must have Java installed for Jenkins to communicate with them, so the installation happens when an instance is created, so this will have to propagate to that stage of the installation of the from-scratch job(s).
