• java_distribution Java distribution type, one of:

  • openjdk (default)

  • oracle_java

  • sapjvm

  • zulu

  • adoptopenjdk

  • sapmachine

  • dragonwell8

  • corretto

    Notice: this variable is mandatory in case of installing other distribution than 'openjdk'.

• java_package Java package type.

  Available:

  • jdk (default)
  • jre

• transport Artifact source transport. Use fallback (OpenJDK, SAPJVM, AdoptOpenJDK, SapMachine, ZULU, Alibaba Dragonwell, Amazon Corretto distributions are supported), repositories(OpenJDK, AdoptOpenJDK, Amazon Corretto distributions are supported), local, web or s3 according to your requirements.

  Available:

  • repositories Installing java from system repositories (yum or apt, Linux only)

  • web Fetching artifact from custom web url

  • chocolatey Windows specific package manager (Supported OpenJDK: JDK 11, 12 or JRE 8, SapMachine, ZULU, AdoptOpenJDK)

  • local Local artifact stored on ansible master (can be used as cache for other transport)

  • s3 Download artifact from s3 bucket (Linux clients only, for Windows please use other transports)

  • fallback fetching artifacts from official sites (available for distributions: openjdk, sapjvm, zulu, adoptopenjdk, sapmachine, dragonwell8, corretto).
    This is default value for transport variable

    Notice using s3 transport requires specific packages to be installed on target host:

    • 'botocore'
    • 'boto'
    • 'boto3' These packages are not included in given role. You should install them preliminary.

• java_tarball_install - boolean parameter to choose between tarball and package installation. Default is true if transport is not repositories.

• java_major_version - major version of OpenJDK (8,11,17) or oracle-java (6,7,8, 11 etc.) Default is 12.

• java_minor_version - minor version of oracle-java. For version 8.202 minor will be 202 (default). For OpenJDK this variable not needed setup manually.

• java_arch Package architecture. (With installing OpenJDK from repositories its variable you may use only for RHEL )

  Available:

  • x64 for x86_64 (default)
  • i586 for x86

• java_path Where java package will be installed. Notice Not use this variable if transport = repositories selected

  default values depend on OS distribution:
