brew ask install java doesn't work anymore.

Reopening ... closed the wrong issue by mistake.

AdoptOpenJDK moved to Eclipse foundation. Renamed to Eclipse Temurin: https://adoptium.net/ https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/temurin

ARM builds: StackOverflow discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64788005/java-jdk-for-the-apple-m1-chip Builds from Azul: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?os=macos&architecture=arm-64-bit&package=jdk

The new build script for Mac uses Java8 from Eclipse Temurin:

# Install Java 8 from temurin repositories.
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask temurin8
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
echo $JAVA_HOME

@carmichaelong, should we close this given the readme and the build instructions have been updated?

@AlbertoCasasOrtiz thanks, I'll close this issue. We'll have to do something similar for ARM builds, but I think the update satisfies this issue and that build script is already a helpful guide for the ARM build.
