There are indeed some additional problems with JDK9:
- the packages set up alternatives to binaries under jre/bin and jre/lib;
  JDK9 no longer has a jre subdir
  => as far as I can tell the binaries in question have also been present
     directly under bin and lib (at least since JDK6), so there does not
     immediately seem to be a reason for not taking them from there
     instead
- JDK9 no longer includes man pages

It may make more sense to give it its own .sh instead, rather than trying
to special-case it in multiple places.
