Ansible Role: java-oracle
This is an Ansible role for installing the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Versions 8 and 9 (early access) are supported.
IMPORTANT
I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS ANSIBLE ROLE ANYMORE! For my current projects, I'm using geerlingguy.java, which meets all my needs.
By using any version of this role, you agree to the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE and the Early Adopter Development License Agreement for Java SE.
Overview
This Ansible role installs Oracle Java by downloading the tar file and unpacking it into a software folder in the user's home directory. It has been tested on Ubuntu and is meant for Debian or Ubuntu systems only. It does not yet support MacOS or Windows.
You can find all the settings in the defaults folder.
