fyi,

Oracle now requires you click a checkbox to download any software. Worse, that checkbox requires javascript. This means that automating downloading directly from the site requires something heavyweight like watir-webdriver

You can work around this by downloading the tarball to a local server or S3 bucket than then overriding the attribute like this or in a role

node['java'][jdk']['6']['x86_64']['url']

node['java'][jdk']['6']['x86_64']['url'] = 'http://your_local_server/java_tarball.tar.gz'
