The openjdk7-jre recipe requires the X11 distro feature which adds unnecessary luggage for a small footprint IoT solution. Thanks to a bbappend from https://github.com/woglinde/meta-java/issues/45 I can minimize footprint, but a headless recipe would be a better solution.  I'm fairly new to Yocto so could someone explain the challenges of a headless recipe and where one might start when creating one?

Patches are welcome. I think the link you posted has a good base of
work done so you could start there and later follow the README file to
post the patches here.
