ansible-java8-oracle

Ansible role to install the Oracle Java8.

Should work on Ubuntu, Mint, CentOS 7. Debian has no ppa suport AFAIK.

Licence is auto-accepted (no prompt) and the whole thing is idempotent (executing it several times will not do unneeded steps again).

(Almost) no usage of 'shell:', only ansible commands.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Optional variables:

• rpm_package_name (CentOS 7 only), Java package name to install (default is "jdk1.8.0_131");
• rpm_package_url (CentOS 7 only), URL of Java package to install (default is oracle.com link for "jdk1.8.0_131" package).

Dependencies

None.
