ansible-java

Install Java JRE or JDK with either one of Oracle or OpenJDK implementation, or both.

Architecture

The role downloads redistributable packages from the internet to the hosts local filesystem before it may install those on any number of managed nodes in the local network.

Downloads are performed with the command module using curl. It is required to have curl installed on the local host you are running ansible-playbook on to manage nodes (your workstation).
