Note that this will work for running something, but not if you want
to compile against that JRE.

For the latter I think we need to come up with some kind of "fake jdk"
project.  I actually have the start of one here, but I haven't
finished polishing it yet.

Ideally Eclipse would offer the possibility of auto-exporting the
build results as a .jar.  That would solve this entirely.
