This plugin adds auto installer for OpenJDK from native RPM packages and provides switching between OpenJDK vesrions using Linux alternatives

Configuration

Add Java installation, select "Install automatically" and choose OpenJDK installer

Select RPM package, which you want to install

 
Alternatives and yum are run via sudo, therefore appropriate sudoers setup is requited (including switching off tty requirement which is turned on by default or run pseudo-tty e.g. by including -t param in ssh command).
Example setup:

/etc/sudoers.d/jenkins

#Defaults    requiretty
User_Alias JENKINS = test_user
Cmnd_Alias OPENJDK_INSTALL = /usr/sbin/alternatives, /usr/bin/yum
JENKINS ALL = NOPASSWD: OPENJDK_INSTALL
