Jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home Got a fresh new terminal prompt? Now you can add the library you want by doing: If you try to add the library to jEnv and you get a message saying вЂњвЂ¦ No such file or directoryвЂќ, thatвЂ™s the reason. Great, letвЂ™s add them to jEnv, yey!! But before that, you might want to close and open a new terminal prompt because jEnv wonвЂ™t be completely installed if you donвЂ™t do that. Note that you can see the version details and its respective location. We can find them by running the following at your Terminal: We basically need to tell jEnv where are the JDK versions we want it to manage, but where are they?

Once again, Homebrew will install OpenJDK version of Java.ДЄt a terminal prompt, to install the latest version, we just have to:ДЇor older versions we have to specify which one we want, for example: So, we can say that things will get more dynamic. This project will keep users updated releasing new features every six months. Since JDK 10 the effort to produce an open-source reference implementation of the Java SE Platform was moved over to the JDK Project. OpenJDK is the free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform Standard Edition and itвЂ™s been the official reference implementation of Java SE since version 7. Oracle has now, started at version 11, the LTS (Long term support) version of the JDK and you are going to need a licence if you want to use that. That means there will be no bug or security fixes available and they will even suggest you to remove old versions. Some might not know but Oracle will discontinue old Java versions. Since October 2018, the OpenJDK version instead of Oracle JDK will be installed by Homebrew. LetвЂ™s use once more Homebrew to do the hard work. We wonвЂ™t look at them but if you are interested have a look on SDKMAN( ) or Jabba( ). By the way, there are other options of tools for doing the same as we are proposing here. Great, we are well equipped with the right tools, now we can install our JDKs. Guess how we can install jEnv? Yes, with our great free package manager - Homebrew.

Of course you can do it manually, you have to open the browser, find the website, find the right link, wait the download to complete, set up your environmentвЂ¦ but why would we want all of that, right? LetвЂ™s make our life easier, we can use another tool just for that, imagine switching versions with only one command. The idea is to install multiple Java versions and we want to be able to switch from one to another easily. So, whatвЂ™s next? More tools - Got a utility belt? Yey! For more details check HomebrewвЂ™s web page. Now you have your free MacOs package manager installed.

This command will automatically update Homebrew before installing Cask. It only takes 1 line in your shell to reach 4085 Casks maintained by 414 contributors.вЂќ - Great! Why not!? So, at your prompt: According to their website: вЂњHomebrew Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to OS X applications and large binaries alike. We are going to use an extension ( cask) of Homebrew that makes even easier to install applications in your Mac. So, itвЂ™s easy to install, just paste the following at a Terminal prompt: First Step - LetвЂ™s Brew it!ДЇor those that doesnвЂ™t know Homebrew, according to their webpage, вЂњHomebrew is the missing package manager for macOSвЂќ and вЂњHomebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didnвЂ™t.вЂќ - Bold. LetвЂ™s see how we can make this process easier. You might feel the need to test the new features, migrate old projects but you might find cumbersome to set the Java environment every time you want to try a different JDK.

#JDK 6 OSX UPGRADE#

Oracle JDK LTS (Long Term Support), released every 3 years, which requires a commercial license or OpenJDK which is free but for bug fixes and security patches we should every 6 months upgrade it. As you might know Oracle has decided to make some money out of the JDK.
