[chef] Re: Re: Re: multiple oracle JDK versions (7&8) using the community JAVA cookbook

[niristotle okram < >]

Sorry - for being a knuckle head so far.... :(

This is what i did to achieve what i was looking for, using the way you do in your recipe :  https://github.com/erichelgeson/jenkins-chef-dsl/blob/master/recipes/build-jdks.rb

Let the default $JAVA_HOME point to JDK7 

-- this is achieve my the conventional use of the cookbook java & specifying the attributes as 

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '7'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

Then, allow the JDK8 to be available on the nodes by using the 'java_ark' resource in my recipe <my_jenkins::jenkins_slave>

.

.

.

.

.

include_recipe 'java'

#adding the below to test the JDK8 installation

java_ark "oracle-jdk8-x86_64" do

  url node['java']['jdk']['8']['x86_64']['url']

  checksum node['java']['jdk']['8']['x86_64']['checksum']

  app_home '/usr/lib/jvm/oracle-jdk8-x86_64'

  action :install

end

.

.

.

.

.

.

So now on the nodes i have the below 

~]$ cd /usr/lib/jvm/

jvm]$ ll

total 8

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 14 17:22 java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_71

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 27  2014 jdk1.7.0_71

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 18  2014 jdk1.8.0_25

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 14 17:25 oracle-jdk8-x86_64 -> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_25

jvm]$ echo $JAVA_HOME

/usr/lib/jvm/java

i can now list this JDK on the manage jenkins page like this:

Any feedbacks/suggestions welcome..

But no trace of JDK8 found in the server

Thanks for the directions. 

So your are using the lwrp from the java cookbook. With this approach, did you end up installing the default OpenJDK6 as well? Even if its yes, it won't hurt anything to me with Openjdk 6, just curious to know. In your cookbook with this recipe https://github.com/erichelgeson/jenkins-chef-dsl/blob/master/recipes/build-jdks.rb , which JDK version is the default (which version of jdk is linked to  from '/usr/lib/jvm/java') ? 

Is it the OpenJDK 6 that was installed by default from your java cookbook?

I tested like so, i still have the attributes\default.rb have the below (to install the jdk7)

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '7'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

Then in my recipe, the below lines were added to add the JDK8 on the jenkins servers

include_recipe 'java'

#adding the below to test the JDK8 installation

java_ark "oracle-jdk8-x86_64" do

  url node['java']['jdk']['8']['x86_64']['url']

  checksum node['java']['jdk']['8']['x86_64']['checksum']

  app_home 'java_home/oracle-jdk8-x86_64'

  action :install

end

Now, i see both the jdk7 and jdk8 under /usr/lib/jvm 

jvm]$ ll

total 8

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 13 21:56 java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_71

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 27  2014 jdk1.7.0_71

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 18  2014 jdk1.8.0_25

in this case, the jdk7 turns be the default, as the $JAVA_HOME is set as '/usr/lib/jvm/java/'  & i can go ahead and define the jdk on the jenkins UI as below

So, for the heck of trying i added another 3 attributes 

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '8'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

so, i have the below among other attributes

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '7'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '8'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

My kitchen converge shows only JDK8 was installed and JDK7 was ignored.

hi, 

I use the chef community cookbook to install JDK7 on my jenkins servers. I define the below default attributes on my cookbook to install the oracle jdk7

default['java']['install_flavor'] = 'oracle'

default['java']['jdk_version'] = '7'

default['java']['oracle']['accept_oracle_download_terms'] = true

I am looking for some instructions on how to install both jdk7 and jdk8 on the build servers now. I came through this section for the same issue but didn't give a clear instruction on how to do. 

https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java/issues/153

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23815942/how-can-i-install-multiple-jdk-versions-using-opscode-java-cookbook

how can i set the JDK7 as the default, so that all my jenkins job use JDK7 unless i specify in the job itself to use jdk8?
