softek / puppet-java7 Goto Github PK

Does this work with the newer class based syntax?
I'd imagine it would be something like:

class { 'java7': }

If it already does, it would be great to see this in the documentation.

Thank you.

Currently, the package is only installed once. If new versions are present, they are not installed. There is also no way to force an upgrade with this module.

It should be possible to pass through the ensure setting as specified in the Puppet Documentation.

This will allow a specific version like 7u55-0~webupd8~1 (see http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8_java/precise/main/base/oracle-java7-installer for a list of versions).

Example Usage

class { 'java7':
   ensure => '7u55-0~webupd8~1',
}

The default should be installed to maintain backwards compatibility. It is also not desirable to auto-update java as there can often be breaking changes.

After installation JAVA_HOME is empty. This probably should add

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

into /etc/environment

The module lacks a LICENSE file. It's not visible under which license it has been published.
