I want to set Java 11 as the default Java version. Let me check what all I've installed in my system.
$ pwd
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
$ ls
jdk-11.0.7.jdk jdk-13.0.2.jdk jdk1.8.0_201.jdk
Let me set the default Java version to jdk-11.0.7.jdk
$ export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.7.jdk/Contents/Home/
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
The above changes are applicable only for the current shell. To change permanently for all the shells you need set those two lines in the .bash_profile
First, go to the user home directory to run the below command
$vim .bash_profile
Append the above two lines in the .bash_profile at the end, and save and exit.
