Satisfying 2,3 may be quite a task.  Given that (and a package review), 
it is worthy for nonfree.

That said, openjdk really is very close to being usable for all/most 
java usecases... the effort may well be better spent fixing the 
remaining issues there instead.  But, you're free to spend your 
time/efforts as you wish.
