Here is an overview of related roles:

Requirements

For openjdk: Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
For oracle: Download the rpms and/or tar.gz's from the Oracle website and place then in the "files" directory. These files are not included because a license has to be accepted. For each version download the "jre" and "jdk", x64 version.

java_vendor: openjdk or oracle, default: openjdk
