@varshavaradarajan: I'm going to discuss with the team whether we should package an appropriate adoptopenjdk along with the .deb/.rpm
packages, and remove the dependency on OS packages altogether.
Obviously, if users want to install via the .zip
installers, they'd still need to get it from somewhere.
Closing. Newer versions of gocd will just package an appropriate JRE.
For users wanting to use a custom JRE, they can install it using a different cookbook and provide a config option to point to the appropriate JRE.
Fails on debian because of https://github.com/gocd/gocd/blob/master/buildSrc/src/main/groovy/com/thoughtworks/go/build/DebPackagingTask.groovy#L36. Since the java cookbook doesn't install multiple versions of java, in order to use 11, the deb pkg's dependency on java 8 should be removed. Which is in 6 months time.
