jre7 is in the AUR so pacman won't update it, but jre7-openjdk is in
the repos and provides the same 'item' as jre7: java-runtime=7
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jr/jre7/PKGBUILD
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jre7-openjdk/
that's why they conflict.

You seem to be using jre7. If you want to keep using it, you have to
keep jre7-openjdk out. Try adding it to IgnorePkg.
