Ok… uhm. Did you mention RMI anywhere in your article where do you got the information that Java 8 is recommended for RMI over more recent versions? And anyways, I’m pretty sure that SDKMan also provides a JDK8. Did you try that?

Why to try some other third party apps if native method is working fine..

Anyway thanks for advice I will definitely try it out :)

  • sdkman is actually very widely used
  • it is very convenient and cross platform, so works on Mac, Windows
  • it will list all available jdks (Amazon, Oracle, MS etc) and versions
  • it downloads the jdks
  • it knows how to install them
  • it allows switching them instantly in the same shell

Honestly, I don’t see many reasons not to use it except for „it’s third party“
