Java Puppet Module for Boxen

Installs Oracle Java 8.

Usage

# Install the default version of both the JDK and JRE
include java

Parameters

You can customise this module by configuring some optional class parameters. Usually you'd do this via Hiera, but you could also explicitly pass those parameters in puppet code like class { 'java': update_version => '152', minor_Version => 'b16', hash_versoin => 'aa0333dd3019491ca4f6ddbe78cdb6d0' }.

• update_version: The 'update' part of the JDK version to install. For example, if you specify 152, the module would install java 8u152
• minor_version, hash_version: The 'minor' part of the JDK download URL. For example download URL is http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u152-b16/aa0333dd3019491ca4f6ddbe78cdb6d0/jdk-8u152-macosx-x64.dmg, minor verson is 'b16'.

All of these parameters have sensible defaults, and are provided if you need more control.

Example hiera data in YAML:

java::update_version: '152'
java::minor_version: 'b16'
java::hash_version: 'aa0333dd3019491ca4f6ddbe78cdb6d0'
