View source for Using Oracle JDK instead of Open JDK

Almost all Java packages in nixpkgs use Open JDK in form of a '''jre''' dependency. If you use Oracle JDK and also want other applications to use it, you can simply tweak your <code>.nixpkgs/config.nix</code> so that your desired application uses Oracles JDK or JRE.

Example with UMLet with JRE 8:
<pre>
 {
   allowUnfree = true;
   packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
      umlet = pkgs.umlet.override {
        jre = pkgs.oraclejre8;
      };
   ;
 }
</pre>
