Research direction

Start with the ansible.cfg configuration shown in the report, especially CALLBACKS_ENABLED, and review how the ansible-role-java setup relates to the deprecated callback_whitelist option. Run any playbook with Ansible core 2.11.2 and confirm that the deprecation warning no longer appears after the configuration is aligned with callback_enabled.

Description

SUMMARY

Ansible is generating warnings saying that callback_whitelist is deprecated and to use callback_enabled instead:

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: [defaults]callback_whitelist option, normalizing names to new standard, use callback_enabled instead. This feature will be removed from ansible-core in version 2.15. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting
deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.
