Install Open JDK 11 on Debian 12 (Bookworm) - Ralph's Open Source Blog

r/debian on Reddit: Need Help: Installing OpenJDK-11 on Debian 12
June 21, 2023 -
I recently upgraded my Debian version to the shiny new Debian 12, and I'm currently facing a small hiccup while trying to install OpenJDK-11. I'm aware that the apt install default-jdk command usually does the trick, but in this case, it installs version 17 of OpenJDK. Unfortunately, I specifically need JDK 11 for my project.
I successfully used apt install default-jdk in Debian 11 without any issues, so I'm wondering if there have been any changes in Debian 12 that require a different approach for installing OpenJDK-11. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could kindly guide me through the correct steps to install OpenJDK-11 on Debian 12.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Looks like 11 was removed from bookworm. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=OpenJdk-11&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all You can install the version from bullseye somewhat manually, though that is generally not recommended, but I prefer doing that over installing from source. You could try grabbing individual debs from the website, or include the bullseye repo and see what happens. I don't know if there are incompatibilities that will force you to use a flatpack or other packaging system to keep things separate.

Its removed in bookworm but its in unstable as well as in oldstable. For using in bookworm i would pull it from unstable, eg. add unstable to the sources.list and pin it down https://packages.debian.org/openjdk-11

July 10, 2024 - Well, OpenJDK 11 is unavailable through the default system repositories of Debian 12; instead, version 17 is there. However, we can install OpenJDK 11 by adding the Debian SID repository, which is meant to install the latest packages for testing.

I'm not sure there's a "correct" way, other than a container or a VM, which have their own limitations. I tested adding bullseye (Debian 11) to /etc/apt/sources.list and installing openjdk-11-jdk, and it seems to work. I'm not a Java developer, though, and can't test if it's properly set up. java --version looks right. deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main There's also a distribution of OpenJDK called "Temurin" that might work. https://adoptium.net/installation/linux/

Debian is a point-release distribution. Version 11 has java11, version 12 updated it to java17. You won't be able to install version 11 from official repositories (unless there is a backward compatible package - what did apt search show you?).

How to Install Java on Debian 12 (Bookworm)
August 4, 2023 - Therefore, if you are developing Java applications, you will need the OpenJDK, while if you want only to run Java-based ones, the OpenJRE is sufficient. Although Java 11 LTS is now the most widely used version, followed closely by Java 8 LTS, looking ahead and following Oracle’s guidance, Java 17 LTS is the way to go. Fortunately, this is precisely the version available in Debian 12’s repositories.

Thorsten Glaser, the current maintainer of OpenJDK 8 in Debian, provides a repository which includes OpenJDK 8, built using the Debian OpenJDK 8 package (see also Debian bug #989736).
To install it on Debian 12, download the appropriate repository configuration file:
wget http://www.mirbsd.org/~tg/Debs/sources.txt/wtf-bookworm.sources
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo mv wtf-bookworm.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo apt update
You’ll then see openjdk-8-jdk, openjdk-8-jre, etc. available for installation as usual:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
