That is to say: It should not be a herculean effort to create an adoptopenjdk release that runs on M1s natively, so presumably, it will happen.

So: It's not there yet, but note that JDKs for ARM have been available for more than decade, and whilst JDK 15 has dropped support for a bunch of exotic OS/architecture combinations (such as Solaris), ARM development has always remained at least partially relevant (even if so far it's mostly an Oracle commercial license offering). That (probably) won't run on macOS on M1 hardware, but that's 95% of the work already done. If you instead leave Operation System on 'any', you'll note aarch64 is in there, and this gets you to a Linux release for ARM processors. Possibly, as Apple no doubt has a bunch of extensions built into their M1 designs, and Apple gets its own.

Please let me know if you got issues so I can update this guide.On this page: AdoptOpenJDK Latest Releases you can select 'macOS' from the 'Operating System' dropdown, and then from 'Architecture', it's currently only 圆4, but soonish there should be AArch64 or ARM64 (those are usually the shortcodes for 64-bit ARM). If you see something similar after typing the command with the version flag you’re good to go! 🙂 $ java -version openjdk 11.0.10 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.10+9) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.10+9, mixed mode) sudo ln -sfn /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk Step 5: Test If you skip this step the system won’t be able to find a java runtime for you to use. Step 1: Install Homebrew (if you haven’t done it already) $ /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL )” Step 2: Update it (if you haven’t done it already) $ brew update Step 3: Install Java11 $ brew install java11 Step 4: Symlink it

I know there is a post with the exact same title but since it’s a little bit outdated I’d like to post a slightly adjusted version for the people who is googling a updated solution. Using HomeBrew to Install Java JDK11 on MacOS (2021)
