ansible-role-java

The files meta/exception.yml and meta/version.yml can now be used to indicate what distributions or ansible versions do not work (exception.yml) and version.yml can be used indicate a dependency of a version of the project being installed.

This helps me/developers of the role to generate README.md easier.

You can now simply include the role and expect openjdk to be installed, the version of java (openjdk) is mapped in vars/main.yml.

Debian latest has been removed from the tests, it's similar to debian-stable.

A deprecation warning has been removed. It was actually a mistake in a condition that showed as a deprecation warning, bus acted as a bug.

Fedora 30 tested successfully.
Deprecation warning fixes
JAVA_HOME set

The role has been tested against Ansible 2.8. Ansible 2.7 is tested for backward compatibility and Ansible devel (future Ansible 2.9) for the upcoming Ansible 2.9 release.

Wow, Java is jumping versions...

Slack notification has been fixed.

A lot of complexity has been removed from this role in order to make the role more readable and maintainable.

• ara integration is removed, I was not using it.
• goss integration has been removed, it's difficult to describe tests for multiple platforms and added test-time.
• {{ role_name }}_ignore_docker has been removed, it introduces more issues than it solves.
• {{ role_name }}_package_state has been removed, I've never used it.
• README.md has been updated with a new template.
• Molecule now uses prepare.yml, saving a bit of time on idempotency tests.

A major release bump, because two variable have been removed, {{ role_name }}_ignore_docker and {{ role_name }}_package_state.

This release works on - and tests Ubuntu Rolling featuring:

• java 8
