redhat: download failing

[sfeltman]

This task is failing after not using it for about 2 months.

It seems the role is a bit fragile due needing to parse links out of the Oracle website? Is there any way to specify direct download links so I can cache my own versions in Artifactory?

System is Fedora 23 (4.8.13-100.fc23.x86_64)

The role is being used as follows:

  roles:
    - role: ansiblebit.oracle-java
      become: yes
      oracle_java_version: 8
      oracle_java_set_as_default: true

@sfeltman and @BalazsGyarmati I've tested the develop branch against CentOS7 and it seems to install Oracle JDK 10 correctly.

I've removed some of the automation so if you want an older version of Java, you'll need to override some default variables.

lmk if it looks good on your end.

fixed on https:/ansiblebit/oracle-java/releases/tag/6.22.0.

please report any new problems you may find.

thank you!

@steenzout thanks for the fix, it works for me
