[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: chef (solo?) explanation for: Attribute hotspot is not defined

[Seth Chisamore < >]

update-java-alternatives is run automatically by apt when the java related packages are installed on Ubuntu.  The only reason that logic was in there was for the case where a person was switching back and forth between the Sun and OpenJDK flavors on the same node.  This use case seems fairly small.  For now pick your install flavor ahead of time per the README's instructions.  If you just use the contents of that gist as is you should be good to go.

Thanks for the insight.
However, it is not clear to me, from the comment in [0], under what
conditions to run:

 notifies :run, resources(:execute => "update-java-alternatives"), :immediately

Refering to [1]:
 a) all packages (at th end of the block)
 b) Only for the pltforms "ubuntu", "debian"
 c) Only for Sun -jvm on the platforms "ubuntu", "debian"

Appreciate any suggestions.
