i try by this
but it show the error

ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, installejava.yaml
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 14, column 16

   - name: Unpack Archive
     command: "tar -zxf {{java_archive}} -C {{download_folder}} creates={{java_name}}"
               ^
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes.  Always quote template expression brackets when they 
start a value. For instance:            

    with_items:
      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:
      - "{{ foo }}"  

If that's an exact copy & paste of your playbook then it looks like you're missing some things on the wget play to Download Java. You'll notice it's cut off at the end.

How can I acquire a JDK download URL.
e.g. I need it for u77 version of jdk8

@Faizan80
Once you accept license here, you'll find your version:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jdk-8u77-oth-JPR

For example:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u77-b03/jdk-8u77-linux-x64.tar.gz

Latest as of March 6th, 2017:

http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u121-b13/jdk-8u121-linux-x64.tar.gz

I am facing following error while using this playbook (modified accordingly):
fatal: [ec2-52-34-61-252.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0_05/bin/java 2000", "failed": true, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}

I have confirmed that the directories specified are present in the VM(SUSE Linux) but it is still throwing the same error

I am using following playbook link
Is there anything I am missing?

This is perfectly working for me.
This one is custom with tar.gz file and plenty of other variables needs cleanup.
Working on CentOS7 and RHEL7 but run at your own risk.

Could you please share Java installation by using tar file with Ansible playbook and update paths in all VMS?
