Android remote/gmote with openjdk6/7

Preamble: fancy sitting on the couch and changing music/video/whatever without having to get up? Do it with your android. If interested, read on...

So I've checked gmote and all the others in the AUR but they don't play nicely with openjdk (tried both 6 and 7). With Oracle's java living in the closed world these days it would be nice to have gmote's functionality work with the open version of java.

I'm no coder but am willing to learn. The choice out there, however, is bewildering to me - I literally can't see the wood for the trees

I'm not sure whether this is a good project for a complete noob, but if some kind soul could point me in the right direction and is not too bothered if I bump into trees at regular intervals I'd be willing to give it a go.
