Java build systems (Ant, Maven, Gradle) used to require "java-devel"

In Fedora 23 I've just replaced hard requirement on "java-devel" with
recommends.
Why? Most builds require javac. Unless you are only installing and not
building why would you not want the java-devel?
From now on Ant, Maven and Gradle require "java-headlesss"
and recommend "java-devel", which means that by default they will still
be installed with full JDK, but it will be possible to install and use
them with just headless JRE.
