Retrieve Valid Java Versions — java_valid

This function retrieves a list of valid Java versions by querying an appropriate API endpoint based on the chosen distribution. The result is cached for 8 hours to avoid repeated API calls. If the API call fails (for example, due to a lack of internet connectivity), the function falls back to a pre-defined list of Java versions.

Usage

java_valid_versions(
  distribution = "Corretto",
  platform = platform_detect()$os,
  arch = platform_detect()$arch,
  force = FALSE
)

Arguments

distribution: The Java distribution to download. If not specified, defaults to "Amazon Corretto". Currently only "Amazon Corretto" is supported.
platform: The platform for which to download the Java distribution. Defaults to the current platform.
arch: The architecture for which to download the Java distribution. Defaults to the current architecture.
force: Logical. If TRUE, forces a fresh API call even if a cached value exists. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A character vector of valid Java versions.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  # Retrieve valid Java versions (cached if available) using Amazon Corretto endpoint
  versions <- java_valid_versions()

  # Force refresh the list of Java versions using the Oracle endpoint
  versions <- java_valid_versions(distribution = "Corretto", force = TRUE)
} # }
