The easiest thing to do if the goal is to allow people to rebuild it is
probably to allow the value for the jdk home to be passed as a define on
the rpmbuild command line.

Something like `rpmbuild --define 'jdkhome /path/to/jdkhome'` and then
you can have a check for the existence of %{jdkhome} in the specfile
