[yocto] [meta-oracle-java][PATCH v2] Add support for Java SE Embedded

[Frazer, Will]

This is rather an old post now but is what I found when I looked into making changes to the Oracle recipe a couple of years ago:

The updated download method was to avoid the manual download process associated with Oracle Java Binaries. I have tested this on a couple of machines before sending it upstream.

It was based on this discussion:

You may find that you are in violation of the Licence agreement if you do this. One of the reasons why the URLs were obfuscated in the past I believe.

Thank you very much for raising this concern. I wasn't aware of this.
As per my understanding, setting
LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST += "oracle_java" in local.conf was Yocto's way of conforming to the License terms of Oracle. 

Adding CC to Nitin A Kamble for his view on this.
