Java might be redundant for Jupyter support #92

Description

@NCGThompson

The installation instructions for the Jupyter Kernel say to install OpenJDK before installing Conda. However, running conda install jupyter-sysml-kernel will install the Conda package openjdk which seems to have the effect of reinstalling OpenJDK but only for that specific Conda environment.

Activating the Conda environment sets the JAVA_HOME environment variable to its own Java installation. If I understand Jupyter correctly, the kernel will always run in the environment it was installed with, so the manually installed OpenJDK won't ever be ran in Jupyter. If what I said is correct in all cases, the Java should be removed from the installation instructions.
