1. Extract the zip file into a folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\ and it will create a jdk-11 folder (where the bin folder is a direct sub-folder). You may need Administrator privileges to extract the zip file to this location.

  2. Set a PATH:

    • Select Control Panel and then System.
    • Click Advanced and then Environment Variables.
    • Add the location of the bin folder of the JDK installation to the PATH variable in System Variables.
    • The following is a typical value for the PATH variable: C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin"
  3. Set JAVA_HOME:

    • Under System Variables, click New.
    • Enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME.
    • Enter the variable value as the installation path of the JDK (without the bin sub-folder).
    • Click OK.
    • Click Apply Changes.
  4. Configure the JDK in your IDE (e.g. IntelliJ or Eclipse).

You are set.

To see if it worked, open up the Command Prompt and type java -version and see if it prints your newly installed JDK.

If you want to uninstall - just undo the above steps.

Note: You can also point JAVA_HOME to the folder of your JDK installations and then set the PATH variable to %JAVA_HOME%\bin. So when you want to change the JDK you change only the JAVA_HOME variable and leave PATH as it is.

Do I understand it correctly that the JDK 11 is not free for production, but the JDK 8 is?
This is incorrect, Java 11 is just as free as Java 8, even more so as Java 8 has some paid-only features that are now free in Java 11. The Oracle JDK now is only available for production with a paid license, but there are many openJDK distributions (including from Oracle) available and free to use. If you don't need a support contact you don't need to pay. Adoptopenjdk has free openjdk builds for several jdk versions on every platform. More on reddit.com

Explaining Java 11 installation to beginners
I'm shuddering at the thought of explaining to novices who have never programmed before how to manually install jdk-11 I think a step-by-step guide should be managable even for novice programmers. Download, extract, copy, set JAVA_HOME environment variable. Thats it. Actually that sounds easier to me than to explain how to get the installer from the Oracle site (license radio buttons...) and then how to avoid installing a toolbar. Java 8 More on reddit.com

r/java on Reddit: OpenJDK 11 download? I only find Oracle JDK!
April 8, 2018 -

Sorry, I'm confused ...

I've just tried to find the latest version of the OpenJDK 11. This page https://jdk.java.net/11/ links to the Oracle download page https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Am I missing something? I was under the impression OpenJDK 11 was a LTS release? I don't want to use the Oracle JDK.

Eclipse Adoptium

For Java 17 and up, you can use the Eclipse Adoptium website. According to their about section, the Eclipse Adoptium project is the continuation of the original AdoptOpenJDK mission. It currently hosts Java 8, 11 and 16 through 22, offering various installation methods, including .msi installers, which will perform all the things listed in the question (Unpacking, registry keys, PATH variable updating (and JAVA_HOME), uninstaller...).

Earlier, Java 11 was hosted via AdoptOpenJDK. It now redirects to Eclipse Adoptium.

In August 2019, OpenLogic recognized that the current state of Java WebStart technology in OpenJDK was not as capable as the Oracle JDK equivalent. The build was missing critical functionality such as site exceptions, jar key matching, Windows Proxy settings, and other functions. OpenLogic added functionality to IcedTea-Web to bring parity with Oracle’s WebStart distribution. These upgrades were accepted into IcedTea-Web 2.0. OpenLogic now provides free, quarterly builds of OpenJDK 8, OpenJDK 11, OpenJDK 17, and OpenJDK 21 for Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

This is not recommended, as it probably does not integrate well with your linux distribution’s java.
