So searching everywhere else...

$ pacman -S --asdep texlive-core jre7-openjdk
(1/2) installing texlive-core [######################] 100%
...
Optional dependencies for texlive-core
java-runtime: for utilities like arara
(2/2) installing jre7-openjdk [######################] 100%

No [pending] printed...


$ pacman -R jre7-openjdk
checking dependencies...

(no warning that texlive optionally depends on java-runtime)
