Ansible Role: Java

Requirements

None.

How it works

When user passes a jdk version, say 8u40, the role goes to load variables corresponding to the version. (To release user from passing verbose variables used by jdk-downloading, the role limits the supported jdk versions. If some jdk version is missing, please issue me or pull a request.) And downlaod jdk package from oracle server to jdk_download_dir of the local machine based on these variables. Then the role unarchives the package to install_dir of remote nodes, and do some configurations. And you're done!

Role Variables

1. jdk_version (defalut: 8u40): the jdk version you want to install. Only support 8u40 for now.
2. jdk_download_dir (default: /tmp/jdk): the folder to save jdk package in local machine.
3. install_dir (default: {{ansible_env['HOME']}}): the path that you want to install the jdk to in remote nodes.

Dependencies

None.
