An Ansible role that performs the following functions:
- Install SDKMAN
- Install/uninstall SDKMAN-managed software candidates
- Set SDK version defaults
- Manage the SDKMAN configuration file:
/path/to/sdkman/etc/config - Flush the SDKMAN caches
Warning: Oracle has made it increasingly difficult to install their JDKs, which has impeded the ability to install them via SDKMAN. Consider using the OpenJDK instead or installing/managing the Oracle JDK by other means.
None.
See the defaults for a description of each overrideable variable.
None.
Here's an example!

commands), this role has tagged those tasks with the sdkman_privilege tag.
Pass the --skip-tags flag on the command-line with this tag in order to
bypass any steps that may have already been completed by your system
administrator (e.g. installing system packages).
Testing this role with Alpine Linux has been an uphill battle. The more
recent JDK builds (>-11) available through SDKMAN are not compatible with
Alpine. Instead, it is recommended to install a JDK/JRE through the apk
package repository. This all being said, I'm currently unsure how well
SDKMAN packages run on Alpine. Your mileage may vary. You have been warned.
