I have looked at it and cast both without any problems, though I already had 
icedtea7 installed.  But the issue I see is you have a depends on JAVA but 
conflict with almost all the other java.  If it requires a java7 to build 
then you need to depend on JAVA7 instead so that it won't delete the java via 
the conflicts.   

But it should also conflict with jdk7-bin because they are both creating the 
below link which will be deleted once jdk7-bin is dispelled thus would break 
icedtea7.  

ln -sfn icedtea7-${VERSION}/ j2sdk                                           
&&
ln -sfn icedtea7-${VERSION}/ java7                                           
&&

ln -sfn ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/lib/jdk$VER/ ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/lib/j2sdk &&
ln -sfn ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/lib/jdk$VER/ ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/lib/java7

That is why I had it downloading a separate java before so that it could be 
cast without depending on any other java.
