|
|
|
The `setup-java` action provides the following functionality for GitHub Actions runners:
|
|
- Downloading and setting up a requested version of Java. See [Usage](#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.
|
|
- Caching dependencies managed by Apache Maven.
|
|
- Caching dependencies managed by Gradle.
|
|
- Caching dependencies managed by sbt.
|
|
- [Maven Toolchains declaration](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html) for specified JDK versions.
|
|
|
|
This action allows you to work with Java and Scala projects.
|
|
|
|
## V2 vs V1
|
|
|
|
- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Azul Zulu OpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin and AdoptOpenJDK out of the box. V1 supports only Azul Zulu OpenJDK.
|
|
- V2 requires you to specify distribution along with the version. V1 defaults to Azul Zulu OpenJDK, only version input is required. Follow [the migration guide](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- `java-version`: The Java version that is going to be set up. Takes a whole or [semver](#supported-version-syntax) Java version. If not specified, the action will expect `java-version-file` input to be specified.
|
|
|
|
- `java-version-file`: The path to the `.java-version` file. See more details in [about `.java-version` file](docs/advanced-usage.md#Java-version-file).
|
|
|
|
- `distribution`: _(required)_ Java [distribution](#supported-distributions).
|
|
|
|
- `java-package`: The packaging variant of the chosen distribution. Possible values: `jdk`, `jre`, `jdk+fx`, `jre+fx`. Default value: `jdk`.
|
|
|
|
- `architecture`: The target architecture of the package. Possible values: `x86`, `x64`, `armv7`, `aarch64`, `ppc64le`. Default value: Derived from the runner machine.
|
|
|
|
- `jdkFile`: If a use-case requires a custom distribution setup-java uses the compressed JDK from the location pointed by this input and will take care of the installation and caching on the VM.
|
|
|
|
- `check-latest`: Setting this option makes the action to check for the latest available version for the version spec.
|
|
|
|
- `cache`: Quick [setup caching](#caching-packages-dependencies) for the dependencies managed through one of the predefined package managers. It can be one of "maven", "gradle" or "sbt".
|
|
|
|
- `cache-dependency-path`: The path to a dependency file: pom.xml, build.gradle, build.sbt, etc. This option can be used with the `cache` option. If this option is omitted, the action searches for the dependency file in the entire repository. This option supports wildcards and a list of file names for caching multiple dependencies.
|
|
|
|
#### Maven options
|
|
The action has a bunch of inputs to generate maven's [settings.xml](https://maven.apache.org/settings.html) on the fly and pass the values to Apache Maven GPG Plugin as well as Apache Maven Toolchains. See [advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md) for more.
|
|
|
|
- `overwrite-settings`: By default action overwrites the settings.xml. In order to skip generation of file if it exists, set this to `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `server-id`: ID of the distributionManagement repository in the pom.xml file. Default is `github`.
|
|
|
|
- `server-username`: Environment variable name for the username for authentication to the Apache Maven repository. Default is GITHUB_ACTOR.
|
|
|
|
- `server-password`: Environment variable name for password or token for authentication to the Apache Maven repository. Default is GITHUB_TOKEN.
|
|
|
|
- `settings-path`: Maven related setting to point to the directory where the settings.xml file will be written. Default is ~/.m2.
|
|
|
|
- `gpg-private-key`: GPG private key to import. Default is empty string.
|
|
|
|
- `gpg-passphrase`: Environment variable name for the GPG private key passphrase. Default is GPG_PASSPHRASE.
|
|
|
|
- `mvn-toolchain-id`: Name of Maven Toolchain ID if the default name of `${distribution}_${java-version}` is not wanted.
|
|
|
|
- `mvn-toolchain-vendor`: Name of Maven Toolchain Vendor if the default name of `${distribution}` is not wanted.

**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.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** AdoptOpenJDK got moved to Eclipse Temurin and won't be updated anymore. It is highly recommended to migrate workflows from `adopt` and `adopt-openj9`, to `temurin` and `semeru` respectively, to keep receiving software and security updates. See more details in the [Good-bye AdoptOpenJDK post](https://blog.adoptopenjdk.net/2021/08/goodbye-adoptopenjdk-hello-adoptium/).
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** For Azul Zulu OpenJDK architectures x64 and arm64 are mapped to x86 / arm with proper hw_bitness.

|
|
|
### Caching packages dependencies
|
|
The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under hood for caching dependencies but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are gradle, maven and sbt. The format of the used cache key is `setup-java-${{ platform }}-${{ packageManager }}-${{ fileHash }}`, where the hash is based on the following files:
|
|
|
|
- gradle: `**/*.gradle*`, `**/gradle-wrapper.properties`, `buildSrc/**/Versions.kt`, `buildSrc/**/Dependencies.kt`, `gradle/*.versions.toml`, and `**/versions.properties`
|
|
- maven: `**/pom.xml`
|
|
- sbt: all sbt build definition files `**/*.sbt`, `**/project/build.properties`, `**/project/**.scala`, `**/project/**.sbt`
|
|
|
|
When the option `cache-dependency-path` is specified, the hash is based on the matching file. This option supports wildcards and a list of file names, and is especially useful for monorepos.
|
|
|
|
The workflow output `cache-hit` is set to indicate if an exact match was found for the key [as actions/cache does](https://github.com/actions/cache/tree/main#outputs).
|
|
|
|
The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
|
|
|
|
#### Caching gradle dependencies
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: 'temurin'
|
|
java-version: '21'
|
|
cache: 'gradle'
|
|
cache-dependency-path: | # optional
|
|
sub-project/*.gradle*
|
|
sub-project/**/gradle-wrapper.properties
|
|
- run: ./gradlew build --no-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Caching maven dependencies
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: 'temurin'
|
|
java-version: '21'
|
|
cache: 'maven'
|
|
cache-dependency-path: 'sub-project/pom.xml' # optional
|
|
- name: Build with Maven
|
|
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Caching sbt dependencies
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: 'temurin'
|
|
java-version: '21'
|
|
cache: 'sbt'
|
|
cache-dependency-path: | # optional
|
|
sub-project/build.sbt
|
|
sub-project/project/build.properties
|
|
- name: Build with SBT
|
|
run: sbt package
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Cache segment restore timeout
|
|
Usually, cache gets downloaded in multiple segments of fixed sizes. Sometimes, a segment download gets stuck, which causes the workflow job to be stuck. The cache segment download timeout [was introduced](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache#cache-segment-restore-timeout) to solve this issue as it allows the segment download to get aborted and hence allows the job to proceed with a cache miss. The default value of the cache segment download timeout is set to 10 minutes and can be customized by specifying an environment variable named `SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS` with a timeout value in minutes.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
env:
|
|
SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS: '5'
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: 'temurin'
|
|
java-version: '21'
|
|
cache: 'gradle'
|
|
- run: ./gradlew build --no-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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](docs/advanced-usage.md#Hosted-Tool-Cache) for more details about pre-cached Java versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: 'temurin'
|
|
java-version: '21'
|
|
check-latest: true
|
|
- run: java HelloWorldApp.java
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Testing against different Java versions
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
build:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
java: [ '8', '11', '17', '21' ]
|
|
name: Java ${{ matrix.Java }} sample
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- name: Setup java
|
|
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: '<distribution>'
|
|
java-version: ${{ matrix.java }}
|
|
- run: java HelloWorldApp.java
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install multiple JDKs
|
|
|
|
All versions are added to the PATH. The last version will be used and available globally. Other Java versions can be accessed through env variables with such specification as 'JAVA_HOME_{{ MAJOR_VERSION }}_{{ ARCHITECTURE }}'.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
distribution: '<distribution>'
|
|
java-version: |
|
|
8
|
|
11
|
|
15
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using Maven Toolchains
|
|
In the example above multiple JDKs are installed for the same job. The result after the last JDK is installed is a Maven Toolchains declaration containing references to all three JDKs. The values for `id`, `version`, and `vendor` of the individual Toolchain entries are the given input values for `distribution` and `java-version` (`vendor` being the combination of `${distribution}_${java-version}`) by default.
