Now that JBoss is certified on OpenJDK[1], it should no longer be necessary to select the RHEL Supplementary channel to install JBoss. The Java dependencies should now be satisfied from OpenJDK in the base channel. However, that is not happening.

The jbossas rpm needs to be updated to recognize OpenJDK and install it automatically if a Java package is not explicitly named to be installed. This should happen even when the RHEL Supplementary. If a specific JVM package is not listed when installing JBoss, then OpenJDK should install by default.
