Example Playbook

Below is a sample playbook. It is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested with each push, pull request, and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.eclipse
    # You can specify different Eclipse releases and paths below
    # - role: robertdebock.eclipse
    #   eclipse_release: 2022-09
    #   eclipse_install_path: /opt/eclipse-{{ eclipse_release }}
    #   eclipse_link_paths:
    #     - /opt/eclipse-09
    #     - /opt/eclipse-202209
    # - role: robertdebock.eclipse
    #   eclipse_release: 2022-12
    #   eclipse_install_path: /opt/eclipse-{{ eclipse_release }}
    #   eclipse_link_paths: []

Before running the playbook, the system must be prepared. In CI, this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
    - role: robertdebock.java
