Why does the module install java 8?

[bastelfreak]

Hi,
I noticed that the module purges Java 6 and 7 and installs Java 8 afterwards. Could you please explain why? Artifactory shipps a bundled java:

[root@centos7-64-1 ~]# /opt/jfrog/artifactory/app/third-party/java/bin/java --version
openjdk 11.0.2 2019-01-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.2+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.2+9, mixed mode)
[root@centos7-64-1 ~]#

Besides that, Java 8 is pretty old and shouldn't be used anymore? can we drop that code from the init.pp?

The provided RPMs don't bundle java. But anyway, for artifactory 7 we will have to dump Java 8 in favour of Java 11, which is a must.

I have to admit: they do! it is located in /opt/jfrog/artifactory/app/third-party/java, and it is even started from there by default.
