The List of Changes and Features Introduced in Java 8 Update 131 Offline Installer

MD5 Added to jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms Security Property:

All the disabled algorithms and key sizes for cryptographically signed JAR files are stored & controlled in security property, jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms. The latest Java JDK download has introduced new limitations on how MD5 (hashing algorithm) signed JAR files are verified. The applications that use signed JAR files are affected by this restriction as in case the signed JAR file uses the MD5 hash algorithm, the signature verification operations will treat that specific JAR file as unsigned.

The jarsigner binary can be used to verify whether the JAR file is signed by using a weak algorithm (MD5) or the strong one. The files signed with weak algorithm are disabled now with this latest update and that would be required re-signed by the strong algorithm.

New System Property to Control Caching for HTTP SPNEGO Connection:

The Java 8 runtime environment introduces new system property to control caching HTTP SPNEGO, according to which when connecting to HTTP server using SPNEGO in order to negotiate authentication and after the successful authentication of the connection, the specified information will be cached and reused for the next connections on the same server.

New System Property to Control Caching for HTTP NTLM Connection:

As per the new JDK implementation, HTTP NTLM can support transparent authentication. In case the transparent authentication is not available or unsuccessful, the Java Development Kit only supports getting credentials from the global authenticator.

If the connection to HTTP server using NTLM gets successful, the authentication information will be cached and reused for the next connections on the same server.

This article shows you how to install Java on Mac OSX, and also how to do Java/JDK version switching.

Tested with

Mac OS 10.15.3
JDK 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (AdoptOpenJDK)

Note
On Mac OSX, Java should installed in this folder; it is Mac’s standard.

We will show you two ways to install Java JDK on Mac, via the popular Homebrew package manager and manually installation.

1. Homebrew

1.1 Install Homebrew and update it.

1.2 Add adoptopenjdk/openjdk.

1.3 Find all available JDK.

The output may vary.

1.4 Java 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, choose one to install.

This example will install Java 8 and 11 for testing.

1.5 Where Java is installed? /usr/libexec/java_home -V

Homebrew will install the JDK at folder /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, and this folder is Mac’s standard folder for Java installs.

1.6 Test it, by default, Mac takes the highest version.

1.7 How to do version switching? Refer to below 3. version switching

2. Manual installation

The example shows you how to download the early access JDK 14 and install it on Mac OSX.

Steps

Download JDK.
Puts the JDK folder at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
Export JAVA_HOME.

2.1 Download the early access JDK 14 from the OpenJDK website.

2.2 Extracts tar file to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

2.3 Export JAVA_HOME.

Find out where is JDK 14.

Java Update 131

Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor.

Export JAVA_HOME, save and exit.

~/.bash_profile

Reflect the changes

2.4 Test it.

Java 8 Update 131 32

3. Version Switching

In this tutorial, we installed the Java 8 and Java 11 via Homebrew (Step 1), and Java 14 manually (Step 2), so this Mac has three versions now. And the Mac is using the JDK 14.

Note
There are tools like jEnv to manage the Java version switching, but I prefer to manage with export JAVA_HOME manually, it’s simple and easy to understand, no black box magic.

3.1 Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor like vim or nano, export JAVA_HOME to the specified JDK we want to use on Mac.

The above changes will make JAVA_HOME point to JAVA 8.

3.2 Reflect the changes.

Done.

If we want to switch JDK version again, update the ~/.bash_profile and export JAVA_HOME to other JDK version.
