java7 will no longer install

[james-trigg]

I had to upgrade to java8 in order for solr to work

Perhaps the role this one depends on is broken? Do you have any logs for me to find a reason what went wrong?

however changing java7 to java8 in all the files fixed this problem with installing and also worked well with old VMs that had already been provisioned.
