See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Available states

sun-java

Downloads the tarball from the java:source_url configured as either a pillar or grain and will not do anything if source_url is omitted. Then unpacks the archive into java:prefix (defaults to /usr/share/java). Will use the alternatives system to link the installation to java_home. Please see the pillar.example for configuration.

sun-java.env

An addition to allow easy use - places a java profile in /etc/profile.d - this way JAVA_HOME and the PATH are set correctly for all system users.

Tested on RedHat/CentOS 5.X or RedHat/CentOS 6.X, AmazonOS and Ubuntu.
