setup-java

This action sets up a java environment for use in actions by:

• optionally downloading and caching a requested version of java by version and adding to PATH. Default downloads are populated from the Zulu Community distribution of OpenJDK
• registering problem matchers for error output

Usage

See action.yml

Basic:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- uses: actions/setup-java@v1

    java-version: '9.0.4' // The JDK version to make available on the path. Takes a whole or semver JDK version, or 1.x syntax (e.g. 1.8 => Jdk 8.x). To specify a specific version for JDK 8 or older use the following pattern (8.0.x)
    java-package: jdk // (jre, jdk, or jdk+fx) - defaults to jdk
    architecture: x64 // (x64 or x86) - defaults to x64
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
