Ansible role which installs a particulat version of Oracle Java

oracle_java

Ansible role which installs a particulat version of Oracle Java. It only works for RedHat at the moment and it requires you to configure YUM repo from which the Oracle Java RPM is intalled (see yumrepo and pulp). You can use this role to install multiple version of Oracle Java and choose which one is the default one for which the /usr/bin/ links will be created. All Java packages not managed by this role will be automatically uninstalled.
