I don't think we should do that. Buildroot has always had a policy that
we don't support doing development on the target. That's why we don't
support installing gcc or g++ on the target.

So I think this policy should also apply to the JDK: we should support
*running* Java programs on the target, but not *building* Java programs
on the target.
