Microsoft builds of OpenJDK for AArch64 Platforms. Contribute to microsoft/openjdk-aarch64 development by creating an account on GitHub. This release is an early access build of our macOS+AArch64 port (also known as Apple Silicon), based on openjdk/jdk@68da63d Together with Azul Systems we are working on JEP 391 to upstream relevant. On Mac, the mobile OpenJDK will be installed for you as part of the Android workload for new installs. For existing Visual Studio for Mac users, you will be prompted to install it as part of your update. The IDE will prompt you to move to the new JDK, and will switch to using it at the next restart. OpenJDK is the short form of Open Java Development Kit similar to Oracle's Java Development Kit used to develop Java Applications. Main difference between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK is that OpenJDK is free for all while Oracle Java Development Kit or Oracle JDK requires commercial license. For more details refer openjdk vs oracle jdk. Oracle also provides the latest OpenJDK release under the open source GPL License at jdk.java.net. Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below. Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. Java 7 and later versions are not supported by these older versions of Mac OS X. Step by Step Installation Guide to Download Azul Zulu OpenJDK 11 for Salesforce Datalaoder users.

If you download the .tar.gz for OpenJDK 11 direct from http://jdk.java.net/11/, there’s no obvious install instructions (at least that I can find) either on the OpenJDK website on in the .gz file. If you’ve done any fiddling with different JDK versions on MacOS before, you’ve probably come across the ‘/usr/libexec/java_home’ utility (see here for my previous article about this utility, and answers to this StackOverflow post which includes one of the most extensive and useful guides to running different JDK versions on MacOS that I’ve seen) which does a number of useful things relating to which JDK you’re currently using in your PATH:
/usr/libexec/java_home : shows you were the current JDK home is, eg:
/usr/libexec/java_home -V : lists all installed JDKs, e.g.:
To switch between JDKs, use /usr/libexec/java_home -v version (e.g. 10):
Knowing that your available JDKs are installed to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ by default, moving the contents of the downloaded OpenJDK 11 dir from inside the .gz file to the same location would make sense.

Once you’ve moved it there, java_home -V now shows the new JDK in place:
Updating my aliases to quickly switch versions in my .bash_profile, I now have:
Sourcing the .bash_profile (source .bash_profile) and then running each alias, now I’ve got OpenJDK 11 set up and ready to go!
The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK and the JRE on macOS:
Openjdk For Mac Download
- Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
- Administrator privileges.You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK and JRE on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK and JRE on macOS.
- When you install the JDK, it also installs the JRE. However, the system will not replace the current JRE with a lower version.To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.
- When you install the JRE, you can install only one JRE on your system at a time. The system will not install a JRE that has an earlier version than the current version.To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.Note:Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update
java -version
symlinks or addjava
to your path. To do this, you must install the JDK.
