Corretto JDK Wrapper

A wrapper script to manage downloading Corretto JDK or re-using a previously downloaded version.

See https://aws.amazon.com/corretto for Corretto JDK releases.

Compatibility

Currently, this is only compatible with Linux and MacOS and Java 11+.

Use Case

The primary use case for this tooling is transient build agents, but it can also be used in conjunction with other tools to improve developer experience.

Installation

Create a .corretto/wrapper.properties file in root of repository.

mkdir -p .corretto
touch .corretto/wrapper.properties

Add a valid Corretto JDK version and dist to the file.

version = 17.0.4.9.1
dist = linux-x64

Add the correttow executable file to the root of the repository.

curl -ksLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brianwyka/corretto-jdk-wrapper/main/correttow & chmod +x correttow

Usage

Export the Corretto JDK Home location to JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Uses version and dist from .corretto/wrapper.properties

export JAVA_HOME=$(./correttow)

Specify version and dist in the command (overrides file)

export JAVA_HOME=$(./correttow '17.0.4.9.1' 'linux-x64')

Integrations

This tooling is meant to integrate with other build tools such as jEnv, Maven, and Gradle.

For example, with jenv:

jenv add $(./correttow)

For example, with maven:

export JAVA_HOME=$(./correttow)
mvn clean install

For example, with gradle:

gradle -Dorg.gradle.java.home=$(./correttow) clean build
