Use Case
The ARM architecture, more specifically AArch64, is getting more popular.
The current implementation only supports x86 and alike installations, but not for any other architecture.
Describe the Solution You Would Like
I would like the ability to use this module to install Java on an AArch64 machine.
Describe Alternatives You've Considered
- Directly installing the java package with the package manager
- This pulls operating system specific logic to the calling module.
Additional Context
I've created a branch that works for our specific use case.
But I'm not entirely sure it will handle all environments as expected.

It might also be useful to support other architectures like MIPS, PPC and ARMHF
