Setting up JDKs using SDKMAN | Apache Pulsar
Building the Pulsar master branch requires JDK 21 or JDK 25 (the bytecode targets Java 17). There is no separate build tool to install: Pulsar uses a Gradle build (migrated from Maven via PIP-463), and the repository includes the Gradle Wrapper β€” use ./gradlew.
