Resources and providers

jenv_install

This resource installs a specified version of Java.

Actions

Action	Description	Default
:install	Build and install a Java version.	Yes

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Default Value
version	Name attribute: the name of a Java version (e.g. `6`)	nil
user	A users's isolated jenv installation on which to apply an action. The default value of nil denotes a system-wide jenv installation is being targeted. Note: if specified, the user must already exist.	nil
root_path	The path prefix to jenv installation, for example: /opt/jenv.	nil
environment	A hash of environment variables to set before running this command.	nil

Examples

Install Java 6

jenv_install '6' do
  action :install
end

jenv_install '6'

Note: the install action is default, so the second example is a more common usage.

jenv_script

This resource is a wrapper for the script resource which wraps the code block in an jenv-aware environment. See the Opscode script resource documentation for more details.

Actions

Action	Description	Default
run	Run the script	Yes

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Default Value
name	Name attribute: Name of the command to execute.	name
jenv_version	A version of Java being managed by jenv.	nil
root_path	The path prefix to jenv installation, for example: /opt/jenv.	nil
code	Quoted script of code to execute or simply a path to a file to execute in jenv context.	nil
creates	A file this command creates - if the file exists, the command will not be run.	nil

environment	A hash of environment variables to set before running this command.	nil
group	A group or group ID that we should change to before running this command.	nil

timeout	How many seconds to let the command run before timing out.	nil
user	A users's isolated jenv installation on which to apply an action. The default value of nil denotes a system-wide jenv installation is being targeted. Note: if specified, the user must already exist.	nil
umask	Umask for files created by the command.	nil

Examples

Reload cache by running command

jenv_script 'HelloWorld' do
  jenv_version '6'
  user         'deploy'
  group        'deploy'
  cwd          '/opt/shared'
  code         'HelloWorld'
end

jenv_global

This resource sets the global version of Java to be used in all shells.

Actions

Action	Description	Default
create	Sets the global version of Java to be used in all shells.	Yes

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Default Value
jenv_version	Name attribute: a version of Java being managed by jenv. Note: the version of Java must already be installed but not installed it automatically.	nil
user	A users's isolated jenv installation on which to apply an action. The default value of nil denotes a system-wide jenv installation is being targeted. Note: if specified, the user must already exist.	nil
root_path	The path prefix to jenv installation, for example: /opt/jenv.	nil

Examples

Set Java 6 as global
