Use Temurin. You'll need the Adoptium yum repo configuration from https://adoptium.net/installation/linux/

OpenJDK is basically a source only project (though they do release reference binaries for the first six months, which usually results in three releases, e.g. 17.0.0 - 17.0.2). After those three months, newer releases are only available through the vendors (e.g. for Java 17.0.5). All those listed are variants of OpenJDK 17 (except IBM Semeru, which is OpenJ9, which itself is a variant of OpenJDK). And bar vendor specific extras, or optional features like garbage collectors, they are basically the same, and have been tested for compliance with the Java specification.

In the Java world, you pick a vendor, and use its binaries instead of the binaries from OpenJDK itself (which generally don't go further then x.0.2, while vendor specific versions continue to receive updates if they are LTS versions). Personally, I usually use Eclipse Temurin builds.

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions

• You include any and all error messages in full

• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

In general I would suggest that you install the Oracle JDK not the OpenJDK. Otherwise you might risk running into some issues. I always found problems of all sorts and sizes with OpenJDK that I don't even bother trying it any more.

Download the JDK RPM from here and follow the usual instructions. Its usually very straightforward and without problems.

Full detailed instructions including how to install it here.

Make sure you choose the right version you need (JDK 1.7 or JDK 1.6, dont mix) because from your question you seem to have a confusion of library versions from 1.5 to 1.7.

And another thing, uninstall whatever you have installed already before installing a fresh one to avoid conflicts.

Figured this out, thanks Ubuntu devs I guess for shipping stripped version of JDK by default, I keep telling that for workstation distros this fashion of headless just results in wasted time - include completely or don't include at all, it would be faster for myself to install adoptopenjdk correctly myself from scratch. Docker images or anything that goes on a server or in a cloud can be stripped - fine but not on Linux user distros, PLEASE

Solution:

Uninstall whatever openjdk-17 was installed including JRE and use the one with sources:

:~$ sudo apt install openjdk-17-source

instead of:

:~$ sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

as I've done at the question sample originally.

After this IntelliJ populates "Sourcepath" similarly as it does for internal Corretto and JavaDoc works.

You need to install them together. I go through the process below.
