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 .nixpkgs/config.nix so that your desired application uses Oracles JDK or JRE.
Example with UMLet with JRE 8:
{
allowUnfree = true;
packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
umlet = pkgs.umlet.override {
jre = pkgs.oraclejre8;
};
};
}
