To install a non-standard Java release, you need to provide its build number with java_build along with java_version and java_subversion:

---
- hosts: all

  roles:
    - williamyeh.oracle-java

  vars:
    java_version: 8
    java_subversion: 91
    java_build: 14

Custom Variables (if needed)

If you have already downloaded a JDK file and the script can’t name it automatically, you can specify it manually:

# Provide the exact filename (without .tar.gz, .rpm, or .dmg);
# This is used with `java_download_from_oracle: false`.

jdk_tarball_file

# For example, if you have a local file named `files/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz`,
# but the script can't name it automatically, use these variables in your playbook:
#
#    java_version:    7
#    java_subversion: 79
#    java_download_from_oracle: false
#    jdk_tarball_file: jdk-7u79-linux-x64
#

# file: prefetch-playbook.yml

- hosts: all

  roles:
    - williamyeh.oracle-java
