Oracle JDK not supported

[netsensei]

I was trying to provision Oracle JDK instead of Open JDK with this role. But this gives me an error.

play.yml:

tasks:
    - name: Installing repo for Java 8 in Ubuntu
      become: true
      apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java'

roles:
  - { role: geerlingguy.java  }

group_vars.yml

java_packages:
  - oracle-java8-installer
  - ca-certificates
  - oracle-java8-set-default

But this will fail with an error because the license this package presents, cannot be accepted in a non-interactive shell. In order to accomplish this, you need to add this extra task in the role:

main.yml

- name: Accept Java 8 License
  become: yes
  debconf: name='oracle-java8-installer' question='shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1' value='true' vtype='select'

While I'd love for this role to support Oracle Java, FYI that https://github.com/William-Yeh/ansible-oracle-java works (for me) in the meantime.

If someone needs oracle-java to install, I'd suggest to look at this role:
