This action sets up a java environment for use in actions by:
This action provides the following functionality for GitHub Actions runners:
- Downloading and setting up a requested version of Java. See [Usage](#Usage) section for the list of supported distributions
- Extracting and caching custom version of Java from 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
- 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](http://static.azul.com/zulu/bin/)
- registering problem matchers for error output
## V2 vs V1
- V2 has support of custom distributions and provides support of Zulu OpenJDK and Adoptium (former AdoptOpenJDK) 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](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2
# Usage
## Usage
Input `distribution` is mandatory. See [Supported distributions](../README.md#Supported-distributions) section for the list of available options.
See [action.yml](action.yml)
## Basic
### Basic
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v1
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
java-version: '9.0.4' # The JDK version to make available on the path.
java-package: jdk # (jre, jdk, or jdk+fx) - defaults to jdk
architecture: x64 # (x64 or x86) - defaults to x64
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
Examples of version specifications that the java-version parameter will accept:
- A major Java version
e.g. ```6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, ...```
- A semver Java version specification
e.g. ```8.0.232, 7.0.181, 11.0.4```
e.g. ```8.0.x, >11.0.3, >=13.0.1, <8.0.212```
- An early access (EA) Java version
e.g. ```14-ea, 15-ea```
e.g. ```14.0.0-ea, 15.0.0-ea```
e.g. ```14.0.0-ea.28, 15.0.0-ea.2``` (syntax for specifying an EA build number)
Note that, per semver rules, EA builds will be matched by explicit EA version specifications.
- 1.x syntax
e.g. ```1.8``` (same as ```8```)
e.g. ```1.8.0.212``` (same as ```8.0.212```)
## Local file
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: '4.0.0'
architecture: x64
jdkFile: <path to jdkFile> # Optional - jdkFile to install java from. Useful for versions not found on Zulu Community CDN
distribution: 'adoptium' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
java-version: '11.x'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
## Matrix Testing
#### Supported version syntax
Input `java-version` supports version range or exact version in [SemVer](https://semver.org/) format:
- major versions: `8`, `11`, `15`, `11.x`
- more specific versions: `8.0.232`, `11.0.4`, `11.0`, `11.0.x`
- an early access (EA) versions: `15-ea`, `15.0.0-ea`, `15.0.0-ea.2`
#### Supported distributions
Currently, the following distributions are supported:
| Keyword | Distribution | Official site | License |
|-|-|-|-|
| `zulu` | Zulu (Zulu OpenJDK) | [Link](https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?package=jdk) | [Link](https://www.azul.com/products/zulu-and-zulu-enterprise/zulu-terms-of-use/) |
| `adoptium` | Adoptium (former Adopt OpenJDK) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html)
**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.
#### Testing against different Java versions
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-16.04
runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
strategy:
matrix:
# test against latest update of each major Java version, as well as specific updates of LTS versions:
java: [ 1.6, 6.0.83, 7, 7.0.181, 8, 8.0.192, 9.0.x, 10, 11.0.x, 11.0.3, 12, 13 ]
name: Java ${{ matrix.java }} sample
java: [ '8', '11', '13', '15' ]
name: Java ${{ matrix.Java }} sample
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup java
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview

java-version: ${{ matrix.java }}
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
## Publishing using Apache Maven

### Extra setup for pom.xml:
The Maven GPG Plugin configuration in the pom.xml file should contain the following structure to avoid possible issues like `Inappropriate ioctl for device` or `gpg: signing failed: No such file or directory`:
```xml
<configuration>
<!-- Prevent gpg from using pinentry programs -->
<gpgArguments>
<arg>--pinentry-mode</arg>
<arg>loopback</arg>
</gpgArguments>
</configuration>
```
GPG 2.1 requires `--pinentry-mode` to be set to `loopback` in order to pick up the `gpg.passphrase` value defined in Maven `settings.xml`.
### Yaml example:
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up JDK 1.8
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: 1.8
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
- name: Publish to GitHub Packages Apache Maven
run: mvn deploy
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }} # GITHUB_TOKEN is the default env for the password
- name: Set up Apache Maven Central
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with: # running setup-java again overwrites the settings.xml
java-version: 1.8
server-id: maven # Value of the distributionManagement/repository/id field of the pom.xml
server-username: MAVEN_USERNAME # env variable for username in deploy
server-password: MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN # env variable for token in deploy
gpg-private-key: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }} # Value of the GPG private key to import
gpg-passphrase: MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE # env variable for GPG private key passphrase
- name: Publish to Apache Maven Central
run: mvn deploy
env:
MAVEN_USERNAME: maven_username123
MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN }}
MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
```
The two `settings.xml` files created from the above example look like the following.
`settings.xml` file created for the first deploy to GitHub Packages
```xml
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<servers>
<server>
<id>github</id>
<username>${env.GITHUB_ACTOR}</username>
<password>${env.GITHUB_TOKEN}</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>gpg.passphrase</id>
<passphrase>${env.GPG_PASSPHRASE}</passphrase>
</server>
</servers>
</settings>
```
`settings.xml` file created for the second deploy to Apache Maven Central
```xml
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<servers>
<server>
<id>maven</id>
<username>${env.MAVEN_USERNAME}</username>
<password>${env.MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN}</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>gpg.passphrase</id>
<passphrase>${env.MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE}</passphrase>
</server>
</servers>
</settings>
```
***NOTE: The `settings.xml` file is created in the Actions $HOME/.m2 directory. If you have an existing `settings.xml` file at that location, it will be overwritten. See below for using the `settings-path` to change your `settings.xml` file location.***
### GPG
If `gpg-private-key` input is provided, the private key will be written to a file in the runner's temp directory, the private key file will be imported into the GPG keychain, and then the file will be promptly removed before proceeding with the rest of the setup process. A cleanup step will remove the imported private key from the GPG keychain after the job completes regardless of the job status. This ensures that the private key is no longer accessible on self-hosted runners and cannot "leak" between jobs (hosted runners are always clean instances).
**GPG key should be exported by: `gpg --armor --export-secret-keys YOUR_ID`**
See the help docs on [Publishing a Package](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-packages/configuring-apache-maven-for-use-with-github-packages#publishing-a-package) for more information on the `pom.xml` file.
## Publishing using Gradle
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up JDK 1.8
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
- name: Build with Gradle
run: gradle build
- name: Publish to GitHub Packages
run: gradle publish
env:
USERNAME: ${{ github.actor }}
PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
***NOTE: The `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` need to correspond to the credentials environment variables used in the publishing section of your `build.gradle`.***
See the help docs on [Publishing a Package with Gradle](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-packages/configuring-gradle-for-use-with-github-packages#example-using-gradle-groovy-for-a-single-package-in-a-repository) for more information on the `build.gradle` configuration file.
## Apache Maven with a settings path
When using an Actions self-hosted runner with multiple shared runners the default `$HOME` directory can be shared by a number runners at the same time which could overwrite existing settings file. Setting the `settings-path` variable allows you to choose a unique location for your settings file.
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up JDK 1.8 for Shared Runner
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: 1.8
server-id: github # Value of the distributionManagement/repository/id field of the pom.xml
settings-path: ${{ github.workspace }} # location for the settings.xml file
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
- name: Publish to GitHub Packages Apache Maven
run: mvn deploy -s $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/settings.xml
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
```

## Selecting Java distribution
Input `distribution` is mandatory and should be provided to use action. See [Supported distributions](../README.md#Supported-distributions) for the list of available options.
### Adoptium
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: 'adoptium'
java-version: '11.x'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
### Zulu
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: 'zulu'
java-version: '11.x'
java-package: jdk # optional (jdk, jre, jdk+fx or jre+fx) - defaults to jdk
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
## Installing custom Java package type
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: '<distribution>'
java-version: '11.x'
java-package: jdk # optional (jdk or jre) - defaults to jdk

with:
distribution: '<distribution>'
java-version: '11.x'
architecture: x86 # optional - defaults to x64
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
## Installing Java from local file
If your use-case requires custom distribution or version that is not provided by action, you can download it manually and then action will take care about installation and caching of this version on VM:
```yaml
steps:
- run: |
download_url="https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk11-binaries/releases/download/jdk-11.0.10%2B9/OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_linux_hotspot_11.0.10_9.tar.gz"
wget -O $RUNNER_TEMP/java_package.tar.gz $download_url
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: 'jdkFile'
jdkFile: ${{ runner.temp }}/java_package.tar.gz
java-version: '11.0.0'
architecture: x64
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
## Testing against different Java distributions
**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.
```yaml

# Switching to V2
## Java distribution
The major breaking change in V2 is the new mandatory input `distribution`. This field should be specified with one of supported distributions. See [Supported distributions](../README.md#Supported-distributions) section for the list of available options.
Use `zulu` keyword if you would like to continue using the same distribution as in the V1.
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: 'zulu'
java-version: '11.x'
java-package: jdk # optional (jdk or jre) - defaults to jdk
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
**General recommendation** — configure CI with the same distribution that is used on your local dev machine.
## Installing custom Java distribution from local file
Since `distribution` input is required in V2, you should specify it as `jdkFile` to continue installing Java from local file
```yaml
steps:
- run: |
download_url="https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk11-binaries/releases/download/jdk-11.0.10%2B9/OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_linux_hotspot_11.0.10_9.tar.gz"
wget -O $RUNNER_TEMP/java_package.tar.gz $download_url
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2-preview
with:
distribution: 'jdkFile'
jdkFile: ${{ runner.temp }}/java_package.tar.gz
java-version: '11.0.0'
architecture: x64
```
## Dropping legacy Java version syntax 1.x
V1 supported legacy Java syntax like `1.8` (same as `8`), `1.8.0.212` (same as `8.0.212`).
V2 dropped support of old syntax so workflows should be changed accordingly.
