I think a lawyer would have to pick apart the JRE redistribution license
to confirm that this use case is acceptable... the catch-22 is that
pljava is running user java modules, not just the software its being
distributed with, and I'm not sure the redistribution license allows that.
specifically...

its that 'sole purpose' part that I wonder about. FWIW, thats from the JRE 6 binary license, I didn't find the 7 or 8 one in a quick google search.
