Research direction

Reproduce the example with Vagrant 1.5.1 and Ansible 1.7.1, then inspect the task named “azavea.java | Install OpenJDK JRE (headless)” and its package version configuration. Done means the example no longer reports “pkgname wildcard and version can not be mixed” and the Java installation completes.
