Answer 2

You should have specified, in which system you want to install JDK - this varies on unix and Windows systems.

First of all, you can use cookbook java , which can be found here .

Additionaly, if you don't want to use any cookbooks, just install it through Chef resource.

In example, installing JDK on windows (requires windows cookbook):

windows_package 'Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 79'  do
        source              src
        action              :install
        installer_type      :custom
        options             '/v\"/qn INSTALLDIR=\\\"C:\\Java\\\"\"'
end

This will install JDK 7.79 in C:/Java directory.

Remember, that name of resource should be the same as package name in system - you can check them in Control Panel (Uninstalling programs).

If you want more informations about installing JDK silently, you can also check this question.
