You can bundle an EPL or GPLv2+CE JRE, but not an Oracle JRE (without accepting their terms and conditions).  Given you're an Eclipse project I'd suggest an Eclipse OpenJ9 JRE.

Actually, this is incorrect, at least as of this moment. The reason being that the Board must unanimously approve the distribution of components under licenses not previously approved by the Board, and the GPL+CE license has not approved. Presently the distribution of a JRE with any Eclipse project is not possible because of this.
