Oracle now requires sign-in for LTS versions

vrivellino commented 5 years ago

Downloading the latest JDK for both Java 8 and 11 (both LTS, though the former is about to be deprecated) require logging in to Oracle to download the JDK archives.

This is extremely problematic for maintaining this cookbook.

Oh damn. Silly Oracle. Is it possible to have the cookbook user point to a local http endpoint and then ask the user to cache the JDK 'locally'?

Yes, it is documented here: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/java_se#examples

I've used these steps for setting up v8.212:

create account on Oracle and manually copy file jdk-8u212-linux-x64.tar.gz to your S3 bucket
you need to set sha256 of the file otherwise cookbook gets into a retry loop and then exits with error - node["java_se"]["sha256"]["tar"]["x64"] must not be empty, so run sha256sum jdk-8u212-linux-x64.tar.gz and use/set the hash value

My role configuration for v8.212:

    "java_se": {
      "uri": "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/YOUR_BUCKET",
      "release": "8",
      "update": "212",
      "sha256": { "tar": { "x64": "3160c50aa8d8e081c8c7fe0f859ea452922eca5d2ae8f8ef22011ae87e6fedfb" } }
    },
