If you still need to use Java 11, use an alternative build like the one from AdoptOpenJDK. You can still get the archived version, but this is not recommended because it doesn’t include any new security patches. Click the ‘Edit’ button.At this time, Java 11, the long term release or LTS, of Java is no longer supported on the OpenJDK website. Search for ‘Java Build Path’ and select the JRE under Libraries.

Click with the right button on the project and choose ‘Properties’.

The change is effective only for the new projects, if you want to change the JDK/JRE for an existing project:

To access the sources select src.zip in the JRE System Libraries and click Source Attachment … In my case I want to use the preview of Java 18 installed with SDKMan, I select the path of this JDK

Add… and select the JRE or JDK Home path.

Search for the Installed JRE (currently the Eclipse Temurin 17) and click ‘Add…’.

In the menu click Eclipse -> Preferences.

Here the step-by-step procedure under Mac OS X: Sometimes it happens that we have to change or add the JDK/JRE version used by eclipse and/or we want to access the correct source code of the JDK. It won’t suggest the JDK installed with SDKMan, you can choose these manually using Browse… Change the JDK in Eclipse

If you click on the folder Eclipse will suggest some JDK and JRE installed on your system. When you install Eclipse you can select the path of the SDK that you installed in the previous chapter.

Oracle JDK will install the JDK in the following path: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/.jdk Set the JDK in Eclipse during the installation example /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk

Download directly from the Vendor / ProviderĪnother option is to download directly from the JDK provider: Adoptium Eclipse Temurin (previously AdoptOpenJDK), Oracle JDK, Amazon Corretto etc.Įclipse Temurin will install the JDK in the following path: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin.

SDKMan should set your JAVA_HOME variable to the selected version too.īrew is ‘de facto’ package manager for MacOS, with Brew you can install the latest version of the Oracle JDK. SDKMan stores the JDKs in the path: /Users//.sdkman/candidates/java and the current: /Users//.sdkman/candidates/java/current To install the latest Eclipse Temurin: sdk install java, to install the preview of the SDK 18, e.g. With SDKMan you can install multiple versions of the JDK from multiple providers (Oracle, Amazon Corretto, OpenJDK, Microsoft OpenJDK etc.). You can install the JDK on MacOS with the following tools: This part is optional but many developers asked for this information. Install / check the path of JRE and JDK on your Mac
