Description

Installs a Java. Uses OpenJDK by default but supports installation of Oracle's JDK.

This cookbook contains the java_ark LWPR which has been deprecated
in favor of ark.

IMPORTANT NOTE

As of 26 March 2012 you can no longer directly download
the JDK from Oracle's website without using a special cookie. This cookbook uses
that cookie to download the oracle recipe on your behalf, but . . .

the java::oracle recipe forces you to set either override
the node['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] to true or set up a
private repository accessible by HTTP.

Example

override the `accept_oracle_download_terms`

roles/base.rb
This cookbook also provides the java_ark LWRP which other java
cookbooks can use to install java-related applications from binary
packages.

default_attributes(
  :java => {
     :oracle => {
       "accept_oracle_download_terms" => true
     }
   }
)

You are most encouraged to voice your complaints to Oracle and/or
switch to OpenJDK.

Requirements

Platform

Debian, Ubuntu
CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, Scientific, Amazon
ArchLinux
FreeBSD
Windows

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for default values.

node["java"]["install_flavor"] - Flavor of JVM you would like installed (oracle or openjdk), default openjdk.
node['java']['java_home'] - Default location of the "$JAVA_HOME".
node['java']['tarball'] - Name of the tarball to retrieve from your corporate repository default jdk1.6.0_29_i386.tar.gz
node['java']['tarball_checksum'] - Checksum for the tarball, if you use a different tarball, you also need to create a new sha256 checksum
node['java']['jdk'] - Version and architecture specific attributes for setting the URL on Oracle's site for the JDK, and the checksum of the .tar.gz.
node['java']['remove_deprecated_packages'] - Removes the now deprecated Ubuntu JDK packages from the system, default false
node['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] - Indicates that you accept Oracle's EULA
node['java']['windows']['url'] - The internal location of your java install for windows
node['java']['windows']['package_name'] - The package name used by windows_package to check in the registry to determine if the install has already been run

Recipes

default

Include the default recipe in a run list, to get java. By default
the openjdk flavor of Java is installed, but this can be changed by
using the install_flavor attribute. If the platform is windows it
will include the windows recipe instead.

OpenJDK is the default because of licensing changes made upstream by
Oracle. See notes on the oracle recipe below.

openjdk

This recipe installs the openjdk flavor of Java.

oracle

This recipe installs the oracle flavor of Java. This recipe does not
use distribution packages as Oracle changed the licensing terms with
JDK 1.6u27 and prohibited the practice for both the debian and EL worlds.

For both debian and centos/rhel, this recipe pulls the binary
distribution from the Oracle website, and installs it in the default
JAVA_HOME for each distribution. For debian/ubuntu, this is
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java. For Centos/RHEL, this is /usr/lib/jvm/java

After putting the binaries in place, the oracle recipe updates
/usr/bin/java to point to the installed JDK using the
update-alternatives script

oracle_i386

This recipe installs the 32-bit Java virtual machine without setting
it as the default. This can be useful if you have applications on the
same machine that require different versions of the JVM.

windows

Because there is no easy way to pull the java msi off oracle's site,
this recipe requires you to host it internally on your own http repo.

Resources/Providers

This cookbook contains the java_ark LWPR which has been deprecated
in favor of ark.

By default, the extracted directory is extracted to
app_root/extracted_dir_name and symlinked to app_root/default

Actions

:install: extracts the tarball and makes necessary symlinks
:remove: removes the tarball and run update-alternatives for all symlinked bin_cmds

Attribute Parameters

url: path to tarball, .tar.gz, .bin (oracle-specific), and .zip currently supported
checksum: sha256 checksum, not used for security but avoid redownloading the archive on each chef-client run
app_home: the default for installations of this type of application, for example, /usr/lib/tomcat/default. If your application is not set to the default, it will be placed at the same level in the directory hierarchy but the directory name will be app_root/extracted_directory_name + "_alt"
app_home_mode: file mode for app_home, is an integer
bin_cmds: array of binary commands that should be symlinked to /usr/bin, examples are mvn, java, javac, etc. These cmds must be in the bin/ subdirectory of the extracted folder. Will be ignored if this java_ark is not the default
owner: owner of extracted directory, set to "root" by default
default: whether this the default installation of this package, boolean true or false

Examples

# install jdk6 from Oracle
java_ark "jdk" do
    url 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u29-b11/jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin'
    checksum  'a8603fa62045ce2164b26f7c04859cd548ffe0e33bfc979d9fa73df42e3b3365'
    app_home '/usr/local/java/default'
    bin_cmds ["java", "javac"]
    action :install
end

Usage

Simply include the java recipe where ever you would like Java installed.

To install Oracle flavored Java on Debian or Ubuntu override the node['java']['install_flavor'] attribute with in role:

name "java"
description "Install Oracle Java on Ubuntu"
override_attributes(
  "java" => {
    "install_flavor" => "oracle"
  }
)
run_list(
  "recipe[java]"
)

Development

This cookbook uses
test-kitchen for
integration tests. Pull requests should pass existing tests in
files/default/tests/minitest-handler. Additional tests are always welcome.
