As a local hack, you might be able to shortcut bitbake by putting 
this in your default.conf:

ASSUME_PROVIDED += "openjdk-6"

Maybe should instead say ASSUME_PROVIDED += "java2-runtime", but 
then "bitbake world" wouldn't make jamvm. But you can 
specify "bitbake jamvm world" instead.



This hack doesn't solve the underlying problem, but should cure 
your sympton in the meantime.
