If you use IntelliJ, VSCode, Eclipse or NetBeans(!) you might want to update your IDE or its Java plugin, all of them give support to Java 11 already.

• brew update
• brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
  One of:
• brew cask install java
• brew cask reinstall java

To reinstall JDK 8 if gets overridden

• brew cask install java8

If you have multiple JDKs installed and need to switch between them I recommend you to install SDKMAN!:

• curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

Installing new JDKs

• sdk install java 11

Adding an already installed JDKs

• sdk install java 11 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home/

Setting global/local version

• sdk default java 11
• sdk use java 11

There are two methods that are statically imported everywhere to save some boilerplate code: delayedResult and println, these are not Java 8-11 features (although I wish they were). They come from the boilerplate.Boilerplate class.

For the JLink explanation we're going to use the following commands:

javac -d target/mods/content --module-path content $(find content/src/main -name "*.java")
javac -d target/mods/moduleConsumer --module-path target/mods/content:moduleConsumer $(find moduleConsumer -name "*.java")
jlink --module-path target/mods/ --add-modules moduleConsumer --output myJre --launcher moduleConsumer=moduleConsumer/consumer.Consumer
./myJre/bin/moduleConsumer
