Oracle Java Puppet Module

This module manages Oracle Java 8 and Java 7 with Unlimited JCE

This module has been tested against Puppet 6.4 on Ubuntu 18.04

Pull requests welcome

NOTE: This module may only be used if you agree to the Oracle license: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/

Usage

include oraclejava::install

or

class { 'oraclejava::install': }

The default behavior is to install java8 with unlimited JCE. It will not automatically upgrade. If you would like to upgrade java8, you can use the ensure parameter:

class { 'oraclejava::install':
  ensure => 'latest'
}

If you do not want unlimited JCE specify false:

class { 'oraclejava::install':
  ensure        => 'latest'
  unlimited_jce => false;
}

Hiera example:

---

classes:

• oraclejava::install

oraclejava::install::unlimited_jce: true oraclejava::install::version: '7'

Keep in mind that the webupd8 team's java8 package does not keep historical versions of the java installer, so you cannot specify a specific version of java to install at this time.
