This guide describes the steps for switching to an internal distribution of OpenJDK. This distribution is intended for mobile development.

Visio for mac when opening. Visio for the web lets you view, create, and edit diagrams in the Safari or Chrome browser on your Mac. There's nothing to install. You just need a Visio Plan 1 subscription, which you can get on a monthly or annual basis.

Overview

Beginning with Visual Studio 15.9 and Visual Studio for Mac 7.7, Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin has moved from Oracle’s JDK to a lightweight version of the OpenJDK that is intended solely for Android development. This is a required migration as Oracle is ending support for commercial distribution of JDK 8 in 2019, and JDK 8 is a required dependency for all Android development.

The benefits of this move are:

• You will always have an OpenJDK version that works for Android development.

• Downloading Oracle's JDK 9 or greater won’t affect the development experience.

• Reduced download size and footprint.

• No more issues with 3rd party servers and installers.

If you’d like to move to the improved experience sooner, builds of the Microsoft Mobile OpenJDK distribution are available for you to test on both Windows and Mac. The setup process is described below, and you can revert back to the Oracle JDK at any time.

Download

The mobile OpenJDK distribution is automatically installed for you if you select the Android SDK packages in the Visual Studio installer on Windows.

On Mac, the mobile OpenJDK will be installed for you as part of the Android workload for new installs. For existing Visual Studio for Mac users, you will be prompted to install it as part of your update. The IDE will prompt you to move to the new JDK, and will switch to using it at the next restart.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the setup on Mac or Windows, you can take the following steps for manual setup:

Check if OpenJDK is installed on the machine in the correct location:

• Mac – $HOME/Library/Developer/Xamarin/jdk/microsoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.x
• Windows – C:Program FilesAndroidjdkmicrosoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.x

Point the IDE to the new JDK:

• Mac – Click Tools > SDK Manager > Locations and change the Java SDK (JDK) Location to the full path of the OpenJDK installation. In the following example, this path is set to $HOME/Library/Developer/Xamarin/jdk/microsoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.9 but your version may be newer.

• Windows – Click Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings and change the Java Development Kit Location to the full path of the OpenJDK installation. In the following example, this path is set to C:Program FilesAndroidjdkmicrosoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.9, but your version may be newer:
