Cannot 'Include' in Run List about java HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @ndunn990!

thanks for taking the time to open an issue. The default recipe is definitely supposed to raise the following error.

Default install recipe is now deprecated
Use one of the documented install resources
See the documentation folder for a list of resources

In broader terms, you should either be looking in the resources documentation folder, or the test cookbook.

The documentation will help with deciding how to use most if not all of the resources.
The test cookbook has a number of commonly used examples which we use to test against.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for getting back to me.

I guess my issue boils down to a question regarding best practice. When I create custom resources for myself that need to be utilized in other cookbooks, I typically have the custom resources tucked away in a cookbook whose default recipe does nothing. So, in other cookbooks, I can just 'include' the cookbook that includes the custom resources and utilize them as necessary.

I can just clone this repository and move the custom resources I need into my cookbook, but I just wasn't sure if that was the best practice or if there was a more elegant way.

Or maybe I'm not making a great deal of sense. Unless there's a 'best practice' other than simply cloning the repository and copying the custom resources into my cookbook, you can close this.

Hi @ndunn990,

you might want to reach out to Chef Support or https://learn.chef.io/ for these questions. As they'll be better posed to answer these questions.

You can always drop by the Chef Community Slack where the #general channel is usually super helpful!

Closing down as this is slightly off topic of this cookbook. As the question is really "how do I use custom resources correctly?"
