koen at beast:/build/v2016.12$ cat .repo/manifests/default.xml  | grep java
  <project name="meta-java" path="layers/meta-java" remote="yocto"
revision="a265b31ec7d022be254abdf959360a7624208585" upstream="master"/>

That generates an openjdk-8 good enough to run jenkins on x86-64, no idea
about other archs.

Koen
