fetch-jdk doesn't store the arch in the directory name, so different architectures get confused

[chrisseaton]

For example /Users/chrisseaton/.mx/jdks/labsjdk-ce-11-jvmci-22.1-b03/ is that AMD64 or AArch64?

How is this resolved for JDKs installed under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines? It would be best to adopt an existing solution to this problem.

I think they assume you use a JDK for your native architecture, so no solution.

But I can't use a JDK for my native architecture until Sulong catches up. Just a temporary solution needed.

Given that fetch-jdk will use the native platform in deciding which binary to download, this is more than just about disambiguating on the installation directory name. That is, I don't think fetch-jdk can support this use case without non-trivial changes. Since we're only talking about a temporary situation, I hope doing the download manually is ok.

[chrisseaton]

On macOS the native platform can be either AArch64 or AMD64, on the same machine at the same time. The correct binary is downloaded in both cases. It just goes into the same place.

I worked around it by just not using mx fetch-jdk. The situation is kind of temporary, and I don't think this will be a problem in 1-2 years from now.

My helper (note that it also sets MX_PYTHON accordingly):

# % cat =enter_gvm
#!/bin/bash

set -x
set -e

JDK_ROOT=$HOME/jdks

# $1 requested arch
# $2 ce/ee
# $3 11/17

case $1 in
    aarch64|arm64)
        ARCH=aarch64
        ;;
    intel|x86|amd64|x86_64)
        ARCH=amd64
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Specify either aarch64 or amd64, not \"$1\""
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

case $2 in
    ce|ee)
        EDITION=$2
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Specify either ce or ee, not \"$2\""
        exit 2
        ;;
esac

case $3 in
    11|17)
        VERSION=$3
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Specify either 11 or 17, not \"$3\""
        exit 3
        ;;
esac

Note how the prompt of my shell picks up $GRAALVM_PROFILE accordingly. I hope this helps.
