Edges now carry their relation: solid 1:1 for fixed consumption, dashed 0..1 for conditional (group-membership gated) consumption. Below every diagram the generator renders a reading key for the edge kinds and the node markers, with the glyphs drawn from the shared symbol glossary. All role READMEs regenerated.

Java
Description
Installs OpenJDK 11 (jdk11-openjdk) on Pacman-based systems to provide a Java runtime and development environment.
Overview
This README file is for the Java role, which is part of the infinito. The role is specifically designed to automate the installation of Java on a system, focusing on the OpenJDK 11 version.
Cosmos
The diagram places Java in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments). Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off.
Features
- Automated provisioning: Configured by Ansible without manual steps.
Contents of the role
The main.yml file within the java role consists of a single, but crucial task:
- Install Java: This task uses the
community.general.pacmanmodule to install thejdk11-openjdkpackage. It ensures that Java Development Kit 11 (OpenJDK 11) is present on the system.
Purpose
The primary objective of this role is to provide a straightforward and efficient method for setting up Java, specifically JDK 11, on personal computers or development environments. This setup is essential for developers who work with Java or run applications that require the Java runtime environment.
Prerequisites
- Ansible: You need to have Ansible installed on your system to use this role.
- Arch Linux-based System: The role uses the
pacmanpackage manager, indicating that it is intended for use on systems based on Arch Linux or its derivatives.
Running the role
To run this role:
- Clone the
computer-rolerepository to your system. - Navigate to the
roles/javadirectory within the repository. - Execute the role using Ansible. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to install packages on your system.
Customization
This role is focused on installing JDK 11, but it can be easily modified to install different versions of the JDK or additional Java-related tools as per your requirements.
Support and Contribution
For support, feedback, or contributions to the role, please open an issue or submit a pull request in the infinito repository. Contributions that enhance the role or broaden its applicability are greatly appreciated.
