This 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
This action allows you to work with Java and Scala projects.
## V2 vs V1
- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Zulu OpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin 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](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2
## Usage
Inputs `java-version` and `distribution` are mandatory. See [Supported distributions](#supported-distributions) section for a list of available options.
### Basic
**Eclipse Temurin**
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: 'temurin' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
java-version: '17'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
**Zulu OpenJDK**
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
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](https://semver.org/) notation:
- major versions: `8`, `11`, `16`, `17`
- more specific versions: `17.0`, `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
|-|-|-|-|
| `temurin` | Eclipse Temurin | [Link](https://adoptium.net/) | [Link](https://adoptium.net/about.html)
| `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/) |
| `adopt` or `adopt-hotspot` | Adopt OpenJDK Hotspot | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html) |
| `adopt-openj9` | Adopt OpenJDK OpenJ9 | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html) |
| `liberica` | Liberica JDK | [Link](https://bell-sw.com/) | [Link](https://bell-sw.com/liberica_eula/) |
| `microsoft` | Microsoft Build of OpenJDK | [Link](https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk) | [Link](https://docs.microsoft.com/java/openjdk/faq)
| `corretto` | Amazon Corretto Build of OpenJDK | [Link](https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/) | [Link](https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/faqs/)
**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:** Adopt OpenJDK got moved to Eclipse Temurin and won't be updated anymore. It is highly recommended to migrate workflows from `adopt` to `temurin` 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 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 [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/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`
- maven: `**/pom.xml`
- sbt: all sbt build definition files `**/*.sbt`, `**/project/build.properties`, `**/project/**.{scala,sbt}`
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@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '11'
cache: 'gradle'
- run: ./gradlew build --no-daemon
```
#### Caching maven dependencies
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '11'
cache: 'maven'
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
```
#### Caching sbt dependencies
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '11'
cache: 'sbt'
- name: Build with SBT
run: sbt package
```
### 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@v3
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: 'adopt'
java-version: '11'
check-latest: true
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
### Testing against different Java versions
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
strategy:
matrix:
java: [ '8', '11', '13', '15' ]
name: Java ${{ matrix.Java }} sample
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup java
uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: '<distribution>'
java-version: ${{ matrix.java }}
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
```
### 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@v3
with:
distribution: '<distribution>'
java-version: |
8
11
15
```
