Setting the correct Java version in a cloud development environment has been challenging for developers due to limited pre-installed runtimes in OCI Cloud Shell. The manual process of downloading, uploading, and configuring Java was cumbersome and prone to error. To improve this, the Java Download Toolkit was introduced. This CLI utility allows easy downloading and configuration of any recent Oracle Java runtime directly in Cloud Shell, utilizing JMS for secure downloads. This toolkit saves time, enhances flexibility, reduces errors, and ensures compliance through token authentication.
The Java Download Toolkit is a simple CLI-based utility that allows developers to download and configure any recent Oracle Java runtime version directly within OCI Cloud Shell.
It uses the Java Download APIs of Java Management Service (JMS) to securely retrieve and install Java runtimes-both Long Term Support (LTS) and non-LTS versions.
The guided CLI workflow of the Java Download Toolkit eliminates the guesswork involved in manually configuring Java runtimes, thereby reducing errors.
All downloads through the toolkit are token-authenticated and tracked using JMS APIs, improving compliance in software development.
