sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java" 0
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac" 0
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac

To check version:

java -version

This appears to be an issue with the packaging of java-17-amazon-corretto. I installed on a test Ubuntu 22.04 system and had the same issues.

However when I installed openjdk-17-jdk from Ubuntu's repositories, all the correct alternatives were created.

apt install openjdk-17-jdk

update-java-alternatives -s java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64
