Installs a Java. Uses OpenJDK by default but supports installation of the Sun's Java (Debian and Ubuntu platforms only).

Requirements

Platform:

• Debian, Ubuntu (OpenJDK, Sun)
• CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora (OpenJDK)

The following Opscode cookbooks are dependencies:

• apt

Attributes

• node["java"]["install_flavor"] - Type of JRE you would like installed ("sun" or "openjdk"), default "openjdk".

Usage

Simply include the recipe where you want Java installed.

If you would like to use the Sun flavor of Java, create a role and set the java[install_flavor] attribute to 'sun'.

% knife role show java
{
  "name": "java",
  "chef_type": "role",
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "default_attributes": {
    "java": {
      "install_flavor":"sun"
    }
  },
  "description": "",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[java]"
  ],
  "override_attributes": {
  }
}

The Sun flavor of Java is only supported on Debian and Ubuntu systems, the recipe will preseed the package and update java alternatives.
