Promote Java 8 to default in DSpace role #49

Closed alanorth closed 7 years ago

alanorth commented 8 years ago

Similar to #40 for PostgreSQL 9.5, we need to promote Java 8 to be the default for the DSpace role once we move to the new DSpace + Ubuntu 16.04 stack. Java 8 is recommended for Solr 4.x, which we are currently using with DSpace 5.x.

Also, Java 8 removes the PermGen option from the JVM, so we need to adjust all hosts' JAVA_OPTS accordingly before switching.

I guess it's just a matter of setting java_version_major to 8 & deploying to a new Ubuntu 16.04 Linode instance, right?

oguya commented 8 years ago

a bit unrelated: doesn't java_version_major sounds like java_major_version ??

alanorth commented 8 years ago

Yeah, just bump the default and re-run the packages,java,tomcat tags to be safe. I picked java_version_major and tomcat_version_major so that it was obvious that it was only 7 or 8, not 8u101 or 7.54, etc. But looking at Ansible's similar facts for distro version, I should probably change it to match ansible_distribution_major_version. What do you think?
