Ansible Role: Java with DCEVM

Role to install the Java with DCEVM.

Important: since the 8.0.0 release of this role the Oracle JDK is no longer supported, AdoptOpenJDK is used for all Java versions. Due to this, support for Java 7 has been discontinued.

Requirements

Tested with

Ansible >= 2.9
Linux Distribution
- Ubuntu
  - Focal (20.04)
  - Note: other versions are likely to work but have not been tested.

Role Variables

The following variables will change the behavior of this role (default values are shown below):

# Java version number
# Specify '8', '11' to get the latest patch
# version of that release.
java_version: '11.0.7+1'

# Base installation directory for any Java distribution
java_install_dir: '/opt/java'

# Directory to store files downloaded for Java installation on the remote box
java_download_dir: "{{ x_ansible_download_dir | default(ansible_env.HOME + '/.ansible/tmp/downloads') }}"

# If this is the default installation, profile scripts will be written to set
# the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add the bin directory to the PATH
# environment variable.
java_is_default_installation: yes

Example Playbooks

By default this role will install the latest LTS JDK version provided by AdoptOpenJDK that has been tested and is known to work with this role:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: ansible-role-java-dcevm

You can install a specific version of the JDK by specifying the java_version.

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: ansible-role-java-dcevm
      java_version: '8'

Note: with curl and jq you can view the available versions by running the following command:

for i in 8 11; do (curl --silent http   "https://api.github.com/repos/TravaOpenJDK/trava-jdk-$i-dcevm/releases"\
   | jq --raw-output '.[].tag_name'); done

You can install the multiple versions of the JDK by using this role more than once:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: ansible-role-java
      java_version: '8'
      java_is_default_installation: no

    - role: ansible-role-java
      java_version: '11'
      java_is_default_installation: yes

Development & Testing

This project uses Molecule to aid in the development and testing; the role is unit tested using Testinfra and pytest.

To develop or test you'll need to have installed the following:

Linux (e.g. Ubuntu)
Docker
Python (including pip)
Ansible
Molecule

Because the above can be tricky to install, this project includes Molecule Wrapper. Molecule Wrapper is a shell script that installs Molecule and it's dependencies (apart from Linux) and then executes Molecule with the command you pass it.

To test this role using Molecule Wrapper run the following command from the project root:

./moleculew test

Note: some of the dependencies need sudo permission to install.
