I would recommend using win_package - that's what I use to maintain java
versions in our playbooks.
For info, recent java versions like to upgrade themselves. While this is
laudable it may cause unexpected behaviours as clusters start running
different java versions. So I would strongly recommend checking the
command line options for the java installer you are using. Below are the
command line arguments that we use on some systems:
arguments: INSTALL_SILENT=1 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA=0 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 /s
/L C:\ansible\log\java-installation.log
# added install options based on options here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/config.html#table_config_file_options
Hope this helps,
Jon
