Java Puppet Module for Boxen

Installs Java 7 and unlimited key length security policy files..

Usage

# Install the default version of both the JDK and JRE
include java

Parameters

You can customise this module by configuring some optional class parameters. Usually you'd do this via Hiera, but you could also explicitly pass those parameters in puppet code like class { 'java': update_version => '42', }.

• update_version: The 'update' part of the JRE/JDK version to install. For example, if you specify 51, the module would install java 7u51
• base_download_url: A base path from which the JRE and JDK packages should be downloaded. For example, if you specify https://myorg.example/dist/java, this module would download the jre from https://myorg.example/dist/java/jre-7u51-macosx-x64.dmg.

All of these parameters have sensible defaults, and are provided if you need more control.

Example hiera data in YAML:

java::update_version: '51'
java::base_download_url: 'https://myorg.example/dist/java'
