Java 14 will be released this month, and 15 later this year.

You may also be prototyping code against newer versions of Java, the current version is 13. The ARMv6 only supports 32-bit, while ARMv7 is a 64-bit processor.If you code in Java, you might be coding against Java 11, or 8, or maybe an even older version. About the processor architectureĪs there are multiple Raspberry Pi versions since 2013 (full history on Wikipedia), different ARM processor types were used. At this point BellSoft has no plans to support this processor.

Side note: although both Liberica and Zulu are listed for “Linux ARM 32bit Hard Float”, only Zulu works on ARMv6, e.g. OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.52+13-CA (build 11.0.13+8-LTS ) OpenJDK Client VM Zulu11.52+13-CA (build 11.0.13+8-LTS, mixed mode )Ĭonfirmed! Azul Zulu 11 installed with SDKMAN runs fine on a Raspberry Pi. If you want to dive in directly, grab yourself a Raspberry Pi, open a terminal and install ZIP and SDKMAN. But we have a working version now!!! Try it out As you can see in GitHub issue #836, this required some rework in different parts of the project. But as this is an open-source project it is possible to request new features and help to achieve the solution. Until recently that didn’t work on Raspberry Pi because that runs on ARM. SDKMAN can show you a list of available JDK-distributions based on the operating system and architecture. It provides a convenient Command Line Interface (CLI) and API for installing, switching, removing and listing Candidates.Ī nice video with a full demo of SDKMAN is available here on foojay.io. SDKMAN! is a tool for managing parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits on most Unix based systems. It allows you to easily install a JDK, but also to switch between different versions. There are many ways to install Java but, personally, I find SDKMAN the easiest one to use. But a lot of the other available OS-versions don’t have Java included. If you create a new SD card for a Raspberry Pi with the operating system, you can choose the “Raspberry Pi OS Full (32-bit)” edition, which includes Java 11.
