# ⚠ DEPRECATION NOTICE ⚠
This homebrew tap is officially deprecated in favor of the [temurin](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/temurin) casks provided directly from the Homebrew project, and will receive no further updates after 2021-08-01 (Aug 01, 2021). Please adjust your usage accordingly:

Untap this brew tap:

```bash
$ brew untap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
```

To download the latest version (16):

```bash
$ brew install --cask temurin
```

To install other versions:

```bash
$ brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
$ brew install --cask temurin8
```

## AdoptOpenJDK - HomeBrew TAP

## Usage 

To always get the latest and greatest AdoptOpenJDK, run:

```bash
$ brew install --cask adoptopenjdk
```

The `adoptopenjdk` cask will automatically upgrade to the newest patch or major release as soon as it comes out.

To stay with a specific major release, activate the AdoptOpenJDK tap with `brew tap` and then install the desired version with `brew install --cask <version>`:

```bash
$ brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
$ brew install --cask <version>
```

To install AdoptOpenJDK 14 with HotSpot, run:

```bash
$ brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
$ brew install --cask adoptopenjdk14
```

Multiple major releases can be installed side-by-side. To get a list of available versions, run `brew search adoptopenjdk` or see the [list here in the README](#available-versions).

### Switch between different JDK versions
1. Add the below function in your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` 
```bash
jdk() {
        version=$1
        export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v"$version");
        java -version
 }
```

For Fish shell user, add the below function in your `~/.config/fish/functions`

```fish
function jdk
	set java_version $argv
	set -Ux JAVA_HOME (/usr/libexec/java_home -v $java_version)
	java -version
end
```

 2. Source the profile and you can change the version like below:
 ```bash
  jdk 1.8
  jdk 9
  jdk 11
  jdk 13
  ```

## Adding a new cask
If a new major version has been released (e.g 14) add it to [casks.txt](casks.txt). Normally you just need to copy the list of casks from the previous major version. e.g

```bash
# OpenJDK14
adoptopenjdk14
adoptopenjdk14-jre
adoptopenjdk14-openj9
adoptopenjdk14-openj9-jre
```
