Package guidelines for apps requiring a specific Java version

It's the GURPS character sheet: http://gurpscharactersheet.com/
I have a github repo for my WIP AUR package:

Yeah, my primary concern here is multi-JVM boxes. If only Java 8 is
installed, there's no issue. The build system is Apache Ant, and I can
change the JVM it uses by setting JAVA_HOME for makepkg, but even then I
can't assume that Java 8 is java-8-openjdk. For example jre from the AUR
also provides java-runtime=8.

I feel like the archlinux-java script should be able to get/set the default
Java **per version**. That would make it much easier to handle all this.
