-This module downloads the desired Java version from Oracle's website and installs it on the target system. On [RPM-based distributions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions#RPM-based) the RPM version will be used by default. On all other platforms a tar.gz archive will be retrieved and extracted.

 ##Limitations
 
 Prior to Java 8u20, two different releases of the same Java series could not cohabit on the same system when installed from RPM. Each new version would override the previous one. This does not happen with tar.gz archives however.
