How to configure Eclipse to use OpenJDK instead of "normal" Oracle JDK? [message #1803022] Thu, 21 February 2019 02:01 Go to next message

Assume I want to use OpenJDK instead of "standard" Oracle JDK in my Eclipse IDE to compile Java applications:

What do I have to change in Eclipse IDE for this task?

Hi,

I have windows 10 .

I am using only the openjdk .

- I unzip openjdk-11.0.1_windows-x64_bin.zip to C:\Java\jdk .

- I set JAVA_HOME to C:\Java\jdk .

- I add C:\Java\jdk\bin to the my path.

- I use http://johann.loefflmann.net/en/software/jarfix/index.html to fix the jar (for runnable jar)

Also you can add another JRE .

index.php/fa/34932/0/

Regards.

Ok, thank you.

But is there no quick and easy way to use OpenJDK WITHOUT changing JAVA_HOME and Path?
In general I would like to keep Oracle JDK as default Java installation.

Only for some special compiles I would like to switch temporarily to OpenJDK.

Having always to toggle JAVA_HOME and Path is tedious and inconvenient.
I guess there must be an easier way to direct ONLY Eclipse to a different JDK.

How does this work?
