The brew formula for openjdk is also installing a compatible Apple M1 JDK build.
#Apple java install
The first thing we install as Java developers on a new machine is a JDK. I'll refer to the traditional Intel/AMD processors as 圆4 (you may find the following synonyms: x86_64, amd64). Note: Throughout this article, both arm64 or aarch64 refer to the Apple M1 chip. This article will share my initial pitfalls when working with the Apple M1 and a collection of valuable tricks and workarounds for developing and testing Java applications.


To solve those problems (not my main intent, but I told myself so) and experience if that processor is really that fast, I decided to buy the MacBook Pro. I was first shocked to encounter hardware incompatibilities in 2021. I had my first contact with the Apple M1 when one of my course students raised an issue that the build doesn't pass on Apple's new flagship laptop. It's been almost a year since I've bought the MacBook Pro M1 ( arm64 processor) for my daily Java development as a freelance consultant.
