To install OpenJDK, run this Homebrew command:
brew install openjdk@8
Note
You may be directed to create symlinks and/or update your PATH to make OpenJDK visible to your system, for instance:
For the system Java wrappers to find this JDK, symlink it with
sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/opt/openjdk@8/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-8.jdk
openjdk@8 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have openjdk@8 first in your PATH, run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk@8/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find openjdk@8 you may need to set:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openjdk@8/include"
