📜Fast-forward to install-jdk.sh section.

Execute Bach.java on-the-fly

This section will help you get started with Bach.jsh used as a remote load-file of jshell.

0. Install JDK 11 or later

Make sure you have JDK 11 or later installed and configured. jshell should be executable from any directory and print its version via:

<path/> jshell --version
jshell 11.0.2
1. Source Bach.jsh into JShell

Open a command shell and change into the directory containing your modular Java project.

<path/> jshell https://bit.ly/bach-jsh

✨ That's all you need to build a modular Java project. ✨

Note: the shortened https://bit.ly/bach-jsh expands to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sormuras/bach/master/src/bach/Bach.jsh

For immediate results, such as fail-fast on errors, use:

jshell --execution=local https://bit.ly/bach-jsh

For more information what Bach.java is doing at runtime, use:

jshell --execution=local -J-Debug https://bit.ly/bach-jsh

For more details consult the output of jshell --help.

install-jdk.sh

install-jdk.sh main purpose is to install the latest-and-greatest available OpenJDK release from jdk.java.net.

Options of install-jdk.sh

-h|--help                 Displays this help
-d|--dry-run              Activates dry-run mode
-s|--silent               Displays no output
-e|--emit-java-home       Print value of "JAVA_HOME" to stdout (ignores silent mode)
-v|--verbose              Displays verbose output

-f|--feature 9|11|...|ea  JDK feature release number, defaults to "ea"
-o|--os linux-x64|osx-x64 Operating system identifier
-u|--url "https://..."    Use custom JDK archive (provided as .tar.gz file)
-w|--workspace PATH       Working directory defaults to user's ${HOME}
-t|--target PATH          Target directory, defaults to first real component of the tarball
-c|--cacerts              Link system CA certificates (currently only Debian/Ubuntu is supported)

How to set JAVA_HOME with install-jdk.sh

  • Source install-jdk.sh into current shell to install latest OpenJDK and let it update JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables:

    • source ./install-jdk.sh Caveat: if an error happens during script execution the calling shell will terminate

  • Provide target directory path to use as JAVA_HOME:

    • JAVA_HOME=~/jdk && ./install-jdk.sh --target $JAVA_HOME && PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

  • Run install-jdk.sh in a sub-shell to install latest OpenJDK and emit the installation path to stdout:

    • JAVA_HOME=$(./install-jdk.sh --silent --emit-java-home)
    • JAVA_HOME=$(./install-jdk.sh --emit-java-home | tail --lines 1)
