The ones in meta/conf/layer.conf are much more global. This one in meta-java/conf/layer.conf certainly does not apply to perl and other irrelevant recipes.

SSTATE_EXCLUDEDEPS_SYSROOT += "\
   openjdk-8-native->(ant-native|attr-native|coreutils-native|icedtea7-native|libxslt-native|make-native|openssl-native|zip-native|unzip-native) \
"
Do you have a recommendation on how to apply this strictly within meta-java? The only way I can think of is to move the EXCLUDEDEPS to the specific recipe(s). Are there any other good ways?
