This cookbook installs a Java JDK/JRE. It defaults to installing OpenJDK, but it can also install Oracle and IBM JDKs.
IMPORTANT NOTE
As of 26 March 2012 you can no longer directly download the JDK from
Oracle's website without using a special cookie. This cookbook uses
that cookie to download the oracle recipe on your behalf, however the
java::oracle
recipe forces you to set either override the
node['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms']
to true or
set up a private repository accessible by HTTP.
override the accept_oracle_download_terms
in, e.g., roles/base.rb
default_attributes(
:java => {
:oracle => {
"accept_oracle_download_terms" => true
}
}
)
Chef 0.10.10+ and Ohai 6.10+ for platform_family
use.
- Debian, Ubuntu
- CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, Scientific, Amazon, XenServer
- ArchLinux
- FreeBSD
- SmartOS
- Windows
This cookbook includes cross-platform testing support via
test-kitchen
, see TESTING.md
.
See attributes/default.rb
for default values.

Include the default recipe in a run list, to get java
. By default
the openjdk
flavor of Java is installed, but this can be changed by
using the install_flavor
attribute. By default on Windows platform
systems, the install_flavor
is windows
.
OpenJDK is the default because of licensing changes made upstream by
Oracle. See notes on the oracle
recipe below.
This recipe installs the openjdk
flavor of Java. It also uses the
alternatives
system on RHEL/Debian families to set the default Java.
On platforms such as SmartOS that require the acceptance of a license
agreement during package installation, set
node['java']['accept_license_agreement']
to true in order to indicate
that you accept the license.
This recipe installs the oracle
flavor of Java. This recipe does not
use distribution packages as Oracle changed the licensing terms with
JDK 1.6u27 and prohibited the practice for both RHEL and Debian family
platforms.
For both RHEL and Debian families, this recipe pulls the binary
distribution from the Oracle website, and installs it in the default
JAVA_HOME
for each distribution. For Debian, this is
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
. For RHEl, this is /usr/lib/jvm/java
.
After putting the binaries in place, the java::oracle
recipe updates
/usr/bin/java
to point to the installed JDK using the
update-alternatives
script. This is all handled in the java_ark
LWRP.
This recipe installs the 32-bit Java virtual machine without setting it as the default. This can be useful if you have applications on the same machine that require different versions of the JVM.
This recipe operates in a similar manner to java::oracle
.
This recipe installs the Oracle JRE or JDK provided by a custom YUM
repositories.
It also uses the alternatives
system on RHEL families to set
the default Java.
Because there is no easy way to pull the java msi off oracle's site, this recipe requires you to host it internally on your own http repo.
The java::ibm
recipe is used to install the IBM version of Java.
Note that IBM requires you to create an account and log in to
download the binary installer for your platform. You must accept the
license agreement with IBM to use their version of Java. In this
cookbook, you indicate this by setting
node['java']['ibm']['accept_ibm_download_terms']
to true
. You must
also host the binary on your own HTTP server to have an automated
installation. The node['java']['ibm']['url']
attribute must be set
to a valid https/http URL; the URL is checked for validity in the recipe.
At this time the java::ibm
recipe does not support multiple SDK
installations.
This cookbook contains the java_ark
LWRP. Generally speaking this
LWRP is deprecated in favor of ark
from the
ark cookbook, but it is
still used in this cookbook for handling the Oracle JDK installation.
By default, the extracted directory is extracted to
app_root/extracted_dir_name
and symlinked to app_root/default
:install
: extracts the tarball and makes necessary symlinks:remove
: removes the tarball and run update-alternatives for all symlinkedbin_cmds
url
: path to tarball, .tar.gz, .bin (oracle-specific), and .zip currently supportedchecksum
: SHA256 checksum, not used for security but avoid redownloading the archive on each chef-client runapp_home
: the default for installations of this type of application, for example,/usr/lib/tomcat/default
. If your application is not set to the default, it will be placed at the same level in the directory hierarchy but the directory name will beapp_root/extracted_directory_name + "_alt"
app_home_mode
: file mode for app_home, is an integerbin_cmds
: array of binary commands that should be symlinked to/usr/bin
, examples are mvn, java, javac, etc. These cmds must be in thebin
subdirectory of the extracted folder. Will be ignored if thisjava_ark

# install jdk6 from Oracle
java_ark "jdk" do

checksum 'a8603fa62045ce2164b26f7c04859cd548ffe0e33bfc979d9fa73df42e3b3365'
app_home '/usr/local/java/default'
bin_cmds ["java", "javac"]
action :install
end
Simply include the java
recipe where ever you would like Java installed.
To install Oracle flavored Java override the node['java']['install_flavor']
attribute with in role:
name "java"
description "Install Oracle Java on Ubuntu"
default_attributes(
"java" => {
"install_flavor" => "oracle"
}
)
run_list(
"recipe[java]"
)
To install IBM flavored Java, set the required attributes:
name "java"
description "Install IBM Java on Ubuntu"
default_attributes(
"java" => {
"install_flavor" => "ibm",
"ibm" => {
"accept_ibm_download_terms" => true,
"url" => "http://fileserver.example.com/ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-4.1.bin",
"checksum" => "The SHA256 checksum of the bin"
}
}
)
run_list(
"recipe[java]"
)
This cookbook uses
test-kitchen for
integration tests and
ChefSpec/RSpec for unit tests.
Pull requests should pass existing tests in
files/default/tests/minitest-handler
.
At this time due to licensing concerns, the IBM recipe is not set up in test kitchen. If you would like to test this locally, copy .kitchen.yml to .kitchen.local.yml and add the following suite:
suites:
- name: ibm
run_list: ["recipe[java]"]
attributes:
java:
install_flavor: "ibm"
ibm:
accept_ibm_download_terms: true
url: "http://jenkins/ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-4.1.bin"
checksum: the-sha256-checksum
Log into the IBM DeveloperWorks site to download a copy of the IBM Java SDK you wish to use/test, host it on an internal HTTP server, and calculate the SHA256 checksum to use in the suite.
