Hi,

I had created below ansible structure :

-rw-rw-r-- 1 packt packt 1841 Jun 3 18:36 [README.md](https://readme.md/) -rw-rw-r-- 1 packt packt 217 Jun 3 18:36 [LICENSE.md](https://license.md/) -rw-rw-r-- 1 packt packt 123 Jul 12 17:57 ansible.cfg -rw-rw-r-- 1 packt packt 103 Jul 12 17:58 site.yml drwxrwxr-x 2 packt packt 4096 Jul 13 05:05 group\_vars drwxrwxr-x 4 packt packt 4096 Jul 13 05:06 roles -rw-rw-r-- 1 packt packt 428 Jul 17 05:23 inventory

Below is my main.yml under roles/jboss/

— - name: For ubuntu download the JDK1.7, Jboss software get\_url: url=[https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/shivasoftware/{‌{item}](https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/shivasoftware/%7B%E2%80%8C%7Bitem%7D)} dest=/home/packt mode=0755 with\_items: - eap64.tar.gz - jdk-7u80-linux-x64.tar.gz
