fixes update-alternatives for openjdk installs #95
Conversation
… you can almost never install an alternative version of java once a machine is provisioned once with this book. this addresses my issues with the openjdk install and update recipes.
…r moving the parameters out of the default you cannot change the node[:java][:openjdk_packages] in a recipe.

The latest change is actually the main issue for me. I want to be able to do in my recipe, and have it set all of the parameters that reference the jdk_version in the attributes/default.rb file. However, that file gets completely filled out AT recipe compile time. This means all the variables referencing the jdk_version have defaults, and they all point to 6. Overriding the jdk_version does indeed override that config parameter, but only that. The jdk_version change isn't reflected in the other parameters, and it forces the user of the cookbook to override them all manually |

👍 thought I was going crazy when I specified jdk 7 and it kept installing 6. |
|
Can we please get this into the cookbook. It's driving me crazy as well. :) |
|
Can you please update the PR to no longer include the version bump? I'll merge a few of these and cut a release. Thanks! |
|
Rebasing on master would be nice too :) |

Thank you!!! This was the primary reason I was trying to get Chef-4234 landed. This makes overriding the JDK version much easier. |
This moves windows attributes back to the attribute file. sous-chefs#95 moved these to the recipe, however that prevents setting these attributes in a wrapper cookbook's attribute file. This ensures that only attributes which depend on jdk_version are set in the recipe. All other attributes are set in the attribute file like normal.

I'm not sure how others are using this cookbook, but it's currently in attribute hell for me. The only way I can actually get an openjdk 7 install is if I run chef-client and supply it json on the command line specifically for java. This is obviously not ideal, and if you want to use this cookbook in something like AWS Opsworks you might have issue overriding versions inside recipes, etc.
These changes fix that, for the openjdk recipe.
