adoptium VS SDKMan

Used the recommended JRT https://adoptium.net/

Wandered through the https://github.com/hneemann/Digital site and saw past issues with JRT but no obvious solution.

I have a couple hundred GALs of same or similar model number of new old stock

Oracle Java is shit use https://adoptium.net/ or another one

Some options for those who prefer to avoid the Oracle minefield:

Sadly, no-one has managed to package it yet, but we should get something in the next couple of days. Since 21 is an "LTS" release, major Linux distributions will provide a runtime pretty soon. Ubuntu backports them to old releases too.

I'm using this one on MultiMC. https://adoptium.net/

some of these will take care of java for you, others are more manual. if you need java, I recommend https://adoptium.net/

You can totally use VSCode. It's Java support is quite good (it really uses Eclipse under the hood basically). You can compile Java code by hand if you install the Java Development Kit. You can also use a build tool to help you. Maven is the most used one. It has a bit of a learning curve but makes using libraries a lot easier.

I would suggest learning how to use SDKMAN: https://sdkman.io/

It will manage the JDK for you. Usage is basically this:

   # Install a JDK, that version is now default

Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. after a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:

To run the example, you must install the Auth0 CLI and create an Auth0 account. If you don't have an Auth0 account, sign up for free. I recommend using SDKMAN! to install Java 17+ and HTTPie for making HTTP requests.

Another option for installing Java is SDKMAN!, a versatile tool that’s easy to install and helps you manage multiple versions of Java.

Java 17

Java 17 or higher. You can use SDKMAN! to install Java if you don't have it already.

Ktor, a powerful web framework built with Kotlin, offers a lightweight and flexible solution for building web applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a Ktor project manually using Gradle and SDKMAN!. By following the steps below, you'll have a basic Ktor project up and running in no time.

If you have any tips/advice then I'm all ears. I've already modified the dnf.conf with fastmirror and max_parallel_downloads I'm currently not using sdkman because this is my personal machine, so I don't mind always using the latest version OpenJDK. If I ever do need to switch between versions then I'll switch over to sdkman instead.

For handling your JDK: I highly recommend purging your system of all JDKs/JRMs - get rid of it all - and download SDK (if you're using Windows, you'll need to do this through WSL). This tool manages software development kits very well; switching between JDKs is super straightforward: sdk use .
