Oracle JDK 12 should be installed at this point.
Now, to check that the installation was successful and Oracle JDK 12 is working, run the following command:
As you can see, Oracle JDK 12 is working.
Installing OpenJDK 12:
OpenJDK 12 is not available in the official package repository of CentOS 7. But, you can easily download it from the official website of OpenJDK and install it on CentOS 7.
To download OpenJDK 12, visit https://jdk.java.net/12/ from your favorite web browser and click on the .tar.gz link as marked in the screenshot below.

Now, extract the OpenJDK 12 archive in the /opt directory with the following command:
The OpenJDK 12 archive should be downloaded.
As you can see, a new directory is created in the /opt directory. Note the directory name.
Now, you have to add the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add the OpenJDK 12 binary directory to the PATH environment variable. To do that, run the following command:
sudotee/etc/profile.d/openjdk12.sh
A new file /etc/profile.d/openjdk12.sh should be created.
Now, reboot your computer with the following command:
Once your computer boots, run the following command to check whether the environment variables JAVA_HOME and PATH is set correctly.
As you can see, the environment variables are correctly set.
Now, check whether OpenJDK 12 is working correctly with the following command:
Centos 8 Install Openjdk
OpenJDK version 1.8.0_212! This is not the version we installed.
The problem is another version of OpenJDK is installed on your CentOS 7 machine. To solve this problem, just remove the old OpenJDK packages from your CentOS 7 machine as follows:
Now, press y and then press <Enter> to continue.
The older version of OpenJDK should be removed.
As you can see, now the version is correctly displayed. So, the OpenJDK we’ve installed earlier is being used.
Compiling and Running a Simple Java Program with JDK 12:
Centos 7 Install Openjdk 8
In this section, I am going to compile and run a simple Java program with JDK 12.
I wrote a simple Java program in a file Welcome.java and put it in the ~/codes directory on my login users HOME directory.
Install Openjdk 11 On Centos 6
The contents of the Welcome.java Java source file are:
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
System.out.println('Welcome to LinuxHint!');
}
}
First, navigate to the directory where the Welcome.java source file is.
Then, to compile the Welcome.java Java source file, run the following command:
Once the Welcome.java source file is compiled, a Welcome.class file should be generated. This is a Java class file. It contains Java bytecodes that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can understand.
As you can see, the correct output is displayed.
So, that’s how you install Oracle JDK 12 and OpenJDK 12 on CentOS 7. Thanks for reading this article.
