Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08) Verify Java 8 version just by: ➜ ~ java -version This can be done by following command: ➜ ~ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8` Therefore, the only thing we need to do is to config the JDK path for JAVA_HOME variable. Java_home works by validating the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the current Java version. In above result, Java 12 is the one being used. The bottom line indicates the current Java JDK being used, it means the version of Java when you type java -version. If you install more Java versions, it will show more on output. Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-12.jdk/Contents/Home It will remove java formula completely from your Mac.Ĭurrent Java version can be verified by this: ➜ ~ /usr/libexec/java_home -Vġ2, x86_64: 'OpenJDK 12' /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-12.jdk/Contents/Homeġ.8.0_202, x86_64: 'Java SE 8' /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home

In case you want to uninstall a Java formula, use this command: $ brew cask remove java Well, install Java 8 should be done via this command: $ brew cask install java8Īfter that, you should have two Java versions, java12 and java8.

Therefore, we will need a way to install Java 8. In reality, most of Java softwares are still under Java 8, not really upgraded to latest Java version. Homebrew always aims to bring latest version of software to install.
