Azul

Info

We needed Azul JDK for Java 8 but there is no real need anymore. Any JDK distribution should work.

Info

Don't use the JavaFX version of Zulu. Instead use the standard version https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-17-lts&os=windows&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk

Azul is providing JDK 17 with JavaFX as part of their community Zulu distribution. You may also reference the official Zulu Installation Guide including the Installation on Windows Using the Zulu ZIP File page.

  1. Visit https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk-fx
  2. Under Zulu Community Downloads, select:
    1. Java Version: Java 17 (LTS)
    2. Operating System: Windows
    3. Java Package: JDK FX (if not already selected)
  3. Download the zip distribution and extract the contents to a temporary folder
  4. Move the extracted folder to something like C:\Program Files\Zulu\zulu17.34.19-ca-fx-jdk17.0.3-win_x64
  5. In Windows > System Properties > Environment Variables
    1. Append the bin directory of the JDK to the PATH variable (i.e PATH=<other_stuff>;C:\Program Files\Zulu\zulu17.34.19-ca-fx-jdk17.0.3-win_x64\bin)
    2. Under System Variables, set JAVA_HOME to the JDK directory (i.e JAVA_HOME=;C:\Program Files\Zulu\zulu17.34.19-ca-fx-jdk17.0.3-win_x64). Move it to the top of the list if you have multiple versions
  6. Make sure you configure your IDE settings to reference this JDK. There will probably be 2 references - the Java compiler and the gradle compiler
  7. (Optional) Open a new console and check that java -version prints something like the following
Code Block
java -version
openjdk version "17.0.3" 2022-04-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.34+19-CA (build 17.0.3+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.34+19-CA (build 17.0.3+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Image Removed

Note: JDKs are also available from https://adoptopenjdk.net/, but they won't provide JavaFX, which breaks most of IHMC's robotics software.

Mac OS X

Download JDK and JavaFX from https://adoptopenjdk.net/ or https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulufx/

Download JavaFX 17 from https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/zulufx/
