What are the different methods of configuring JDK versions?
- Manually download and install JDK: Download the required JDK version from the official Oracle website and follow the steps provided in the official documentation to install it.
- Utilize JDK management tools: Use third-party tools like SDKMAN (Software Development Kit Manager) or Jenv to manage and install multiple versions of JDK. These tools enable users to switch and configure different JDK versions for various projects.
- Some integrated development environments (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, provide built-in JDK management functionality, allowing users to easily configure and switch between different JDK versions through the IDE interface.
- Utilize environment variables: Configure the installation path of JDK in the operating system’s environment variables, and then reference this environment variable in the command line or script to specify the JDK version to use.
It is important to ensure that the selected JDK version is compatible with the requirements of the project, regardless of how the JDK version is configured.
