I want to register a variable with my java version.  I can get that with:

java -version 2>&1 | head -1 | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\"" } ; { print $2 }'

That gives me the result I want: 1.8.0_45

But I cannot make this happen in ansible :-(  I'm going crazy with quotes 
and escapes.  I've tried:

  - name: Get java version
    shell: >
         java -version 2>&1 | head -1 | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\"" } ; { print 
$2 }'
    register: java_ver

and:

  - name: Get java version
    command: "{{ item }}"
    with_items:
      - java -version 2>&1 | head -1 | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\"" } ; { print 
$2 }'
    register: java_ver

as well as trying various combinations of quotes and escape characters.  I 
just can't get the right recipe.
