Solution

  • If you want to use a specific version of JAVA [JDK ] you can always install install it and point the JAVA_HOME to the newly installed version. You can have multiple versions of java installed in your system. Your environment variable should point to the Java version that you want to use.

    You need to edit bashrc and add the below :

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_251
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin

    Verify the installation path for your Java version (example : /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_251).

    Restart your bash or start a new shell.
