puppet-jdk_oracle

Puppet module to install a JDK from oracle using wget.

Source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Note: By using this module you will automatically accept the Oracle agreement to download Java.

There are several puppet modules available that will help install Oracle JDK, but they either use the Debian repository, or depend on the user to manually place the Oracle Java installer in the module's file directory prior to using. This module will work on Redhat family of OSs, and will use wget with a cookie to automatically grab the installer from Oracle.

This approach was inspired by: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10268583/how-to-automate-download-and-instalation-of-java-jdk-on-linux

Currently Supported:

• RedHat Family (RedHat, Fedora, CentOS)

• This may work on other linux flavors but more testing is needed. Please seend feedback!
