I haven't had a chance to use that for a few month now, but I have a fork (with just one minor change to allow wrapper cookbooks) and a small wrapper to install oracle java on GitHub: [st-h (Steve) · GitHub](https://github.com/st-h/)  
Probably there might have been some updates which I haven't merged yet, but at least that should give a working example
