Role Name: sardpost.java8

Ansible role for installing Oracle Java JDK 8 (jdk-8u77) on EL 7 platform (RHEL/Centos 7). It checks if Openjdk is installed and removes it (when "openjdk:" variable in defaults/main.yml is set to 1 (default)). The jre_url in defaults/main.yml specifies the download url.

    jre_url: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u77-b03/jdk-8u77-linux-x64.rpm

The commented get_url task ("Downloading Java 8 sdk") in the EL.yml works only under Ansible 2. Ansible 2 supports the 'header' option in get_url module which is necessary to pass the cookie to download the Oracle Java JDK official RPM.
