The key is "installed but not shipped" - you've installed the files, but they 
aren't being shipped in any package. The files in each package are specified 
using FILES, and /usr/share is ${datadir}, so I'd suggest something like the 
following:

FILES_${PN} += "${datadir}/java"

(Moving the files to /usr/bin works because that is already in the default 
value of FILES_${PN}, whereas /usr/share/java isn't).

Cheers,
Paul
