Check the version of JDK installed and the path on your MacOS
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
Check this instance/version of the JDK is currently running on your MacOS
java --version
The above command will show the currently used JDK and JRE
If you have multiple instances of JDK installed on your MacOS and want to switch the version based on the required environment. You can do so by following the below steps:
Edit ~/.bash_profile and set JAVA_HOME environment variable
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
In case of MacOS BigSur
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0)
The above command will switch the JDK version to 1.8
Reload the changes to the environment
source ~/.bash_profile
