Java Editions available

OpenJDK

OpenJDK is the preferred JDK (because of its Open Source license).

The Scoop Java bucket contains five different OpenJDK builds.

Oracle OpenJDK

Oracle's OpenJDK version (openjdk.json) can be installed with:

scoop install openjdk

AdoptOpenJDK

AdoptOpenJDK has versions with HotSpot and Eclipse OpenJ9 JVMs.

Oracle HotSpot JVM

OpenJDK 8 with Oracle HotSpot JVM

adopt8-upstream.json is the preferred Java 8 JDK. Oracle does not distribute Oracle 8 JDK:s anymore, see FAQ here. Oracle 8 JRE is available through the oraclejre8.json manifest.

AdoptOpenJDK with Oracle HotSpot JVM

adoptopenjdk-hotspot.json can be installed with:

scoop install adoptopenjdk-hotspot

Switching Javas

There are two solutions available today for switching java:

1. scoop reset <java>[@<version>]
2. Using find-java from extras

scoop reset works very well for the current session, and will also update the user's path. Please note https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/3822 - currently this isn't working for all available packages.

Globally installed javas takes precedence over user-installed javas, so running sudo scoop install -g oraclejdk-lts will install a java that is always default for new sessions.
