ansible-sdkman's Introduction

Ansible Role: Comcast.sdkman

An Ansible role that performs the following functions:

Install SDKMAN
Install/uninstall SDKMAN-managed software candidates
Set SDK version defaults
Manage the SDKMAN configuration file: /path/to/sdkman/etc/config
Flush the SDKMAN caches

Warning: Oracle has made it increasingly difficult to install their JDKs, which has impeded the ability to install them via SDKMAN. Consider using the OpenJDK instead or installing/managing the Oracle JDK by other means.

Requirements

None.

Additional Notes

If you want to skip any steps that require privilege escalation (i.e. sudo commands), this role has tagged those tasks with the sdkman_privilege tag. Pass the --skip-tags flag on the command-line with this tag in order to bypass any steps that may have already been completed by your system administrator (e.g. installing system packages).
