How to Use:

Here's an example of how to set up the role:

- {
    role: "sa-java-corretto",
    java_version: 8
  }

Windows Support

To use this on Windows, make sure the system is ready for Ansible provisioning. It's recommended to use the role sa-box-bootstrap-win, but manually configured setups also work.

For Windows, the only parameter you need is java_version.

Windows Playbook Example:

vars:
  - root_dir: ..

  - ansible_connection: winrm
  - ansible_ssh_port: 5986
  - ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
  - ansible_winrm_transport: ssl

pre_tasks:
  - debug: msg="Preparing to install Java"

  - name: Gather system information
    setup:

roles:
   - {
       role: "sa-java-corretto",
       java_version: 8
     }

Helpful Commands:

• List Java Installations:

  sudo update-java-alternatives --list
  

• Change Default Java:

  sudo update-java-alternatives --set [JDK/JRE name, e.g., java-8-oracle]
  

• Set JAVA_HOME for JRE:

  export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
  

• Set JAVA_HOME for JDK:

  export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:jre/bin/java::")
  

• Switch Between JDKs/JREs: If you want to configure different Java versions for tasks, use:

  sudo update-alternatives --config java[Tab]
  

  Then select your desired Java command with:

  sudo update-alternatives --config [javac|java|javadoc|etc.]
  

Using with Ansible Galaxy

If you installed the sa-java role with:

ansible-galaxy install softasap.sa-java-corretto

The role will be found in the folder library/sa-java-corretto. Adjust the path as needed.

- {
    role: "softasap.sa-java-corretto"
  }
