Windows support

For windows support we expect, that box is prepared for provisioning with ansible (best used with role https://github.com/softasap/sa-box-bootstrap-win , but if you configured the same setup manually will work too )

For windows systems there is only one parameter supported: java_version

Example of the typical windows play:

vars:
  - root_dir: ..

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


pre_tasks:
  - debug: msg="Pre tasks section"

  - name: gather facts
    setup:

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

Notes

List available java installations

sudo update-java-alternatives --list

Switch default java

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

Magic oneliners to export JAVA_HOME

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

JDK:

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

If you want to use different JDKs/JREs for each Java task, you can run update-alternatives to configure one java executable at a time; you can run

sudo update-alternatives --config java[Tab] to see the Java commands that can be configured (java, javac, javah, javaws, etc). And then

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

Usage with ansible galaxy workflow

If you installed the sa-java role using the command

ansible-galaxy install softasap.sa-java-corretto

the role will be available in the folder library/sa-java-corretto

Please adjust the path accordingly.

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