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:

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.
