Install JDK

I need a JDK to build my Java library. Currently I'm installing a JDK with "cinst jdk8", which works but adds 5+ minutes to every build. Can a JDK be provided as part of a base image? Ideally, latest versions of both JDK7 and JDK8 were available, with their install directories bound to different environment variables.

   There is Java 7 installed in default location (http://www.appveyor.com/docs/installed-software).

   According to these docs, what's installed is a JRE (to run Java code). What I'm looking for is a JDK (to build Java code).

   Seems you're right. Will install JDK 7 and 8 tomorrow.

   Both JDK 7 and 8 have been installed on build workers:

   JDK 1.7 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin in PATH)
   JDK 1.8 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0)

   JDK 1.7 is default and in PATH

   Is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin still installed?
   I'm seeing this in the log:
   

   SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
   SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0
   java -version
   java version "1.8.0_92" 
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b1

   Location looks right: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/installed-software#java

   Though I would swap the first two lines:

   SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0
   SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

   Can you please provide a JDK 9 installation? Thanks in advance.

   Could I also second the request for a JDK9 installation in the image. With Java 9 having been out as a stable release for nearly six months, and with most maven plugins having been updated to support it, it's now viable for most Java-using projects to begin updating their projects to enable Java 9 support. Having AppVeyor support this would be most valauble.

   Many thanks for your consideration,
   Roger

    Java 9 is scheduled for the next image update: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/1186
