wavyx / ansible-sdkman

An Ansible role that installs, configures, and manages SDKMAN

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.

Role Variables

See the defaults for a description of each overrideable variable.

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).
