OpenJDK Install - Specific version

[sub...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to install a specic version of JDK8 on CentOS using ansible? we are looking to pin versions of JDK to 

java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9

Thank you.

we are using yum module to install it. How do we pass version information for JDK8?
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-4.fc34.x86_64.rpm ( this is the specific package we are trying to install)

Can you selected a version of that particular package?

I worked with Azul JDK (free on Azure) and to achieve version lock I
used yum versionlock:
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/yum-versionlock.1.html

Thanks to versionlock you can still run "yum update".

PS. I'll try to find an example of passing version to the yum module,
but it should be in docs.
