On Ubuntu 14 LTS update-alternatives seems to fail about java HOT 5 CLOSED

Is there anything else on your system doing java things?
Do you have openjdk installed before your chef run (that shouldnt matter)?
Are you doing this with an interactive shell? eg if you log out and login again is JAVA_HOME right?

We have 14.04 in our test suite and it looks like it's doing the right thing:

One more thing, can you try setting node['java']['alternatives_priority'] to something higher than 1071?

Hmm... I'm not sure what's affecting this and yeah it's actually a existing project which has some amount of chef configs in place already so it might actually be that something else is messing up the system. I should have ran a test with more "trimmed" Chef/Vagrant setup, so it is probably something to do with my setup.

... but setting the node['java']['alternatives_priority'] works as a fix for now atleast! Thank you good sir for quick answer! :)

Priorities are a tricky thing, different OS's/packages/etc may have different priorities. Right now it is just a guess: https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java/blob/ef17a804184020b21ba59df6d38c3c07a3c4ee2c/libraries/helpers.rb#L37-L54
