setup-java
This action provides the following functionality for GitHub Actions runners:
- Downloading and setting up a requested version of Java. See Usage for a list of supported distributions
- Extracting and caching custom version of Java from a local file
- Configuring runner for publishing using Apache Maven
- Configuring runner for publishing using Gradle
- Configuring runner for using GPG private key
- Registering problem matchers for error output
V2 vs V1
- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Zulu OpenJDK and Adopt OpenJDK out of the box. V1 supports only Zulu OpenJDK
- V2 requires you to specify distribution along with the version. V1 defaults to Zulu OpenJDK, only version input is required. Follow the migration guide to switch from V1 to V2
Usage
Inputs java-version
and distribution
are mandatory. See Supported distributions section for a list of available options.
Basic
Adopt OpenJDK
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'adopt' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
java-version: '11'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
Zulu OpenJDK
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'zulu' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
java-version: '11'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
Supported version syntax
The java-version
input supports an exact version or a version range using SemVer notation:
- major versions:
8
,11
,15
- more specific versions:
11.0
,11.0.4
,8.0.232
,8.0.282+8
- early access (EA) versions:
15-ea
,15.0.0-ea
,15.0.0-ea.2
,15.0.0+2-ea
Supported distributions
Currently, the following distributions are supported:
Keyword | Distribution | Official site | License |
---|---|---|---|
zulu |
Zulu OpenJDK | Link | Link |
adopt |
Adopt OpenJDK | Link | Link |
NOTE: The different distributors can provide discrepant list of available versions / supported configurations. Please refer to the official documentation to see the list of supported versions.
Check latest
In the basic examples above, the check-latest
flag defaults to false
. When set to false
, the action tries to first resolve a version of Java from the local tool cache on the runner. If unable to find a specific version in the cache, the action will download a version of Java. Use the default or set check-latest
to false
if you prefer a faster more consistent setup experience that prioritizes trying to use the cached versions at the expense of newer versions sometimes being available for download.
If check-latest
is set to true
, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, the latest version of Java will be downloaded. Set check-latest
to true
if you want the most up-to-date version of Java to always be used. Setting check-latest
to true
has performance implications as downloading versions of Java is slower than using cached versions.
For Java distributions that are not cached on Hosted images, check-latest
always behaves as true
and downloads Java on-flight. Check out Hosted Tool Cache for more details about pre-cached Java versions.
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'adopt'
java-version: '11'
check-latest: true
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
Testing against different Java versions
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
strategy:
matrix:
java: [ '8', '11', '13', '15' ]
name: Java ${{ matrix.Java }} sample
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup java
uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: '<distribution>'
java-version: ${{ matrix.java }}
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
