jenv: Set the global JDK version.
$ jenv global ${java_version}
try on your machine

The command "jenv global ${java_version}" sets the global Java version using the jenv tool.

  • "jenv" is a command-line tool used to manage multiple Java environments on a single machine. It allows you to set different Java versions for different projects or applications.
  • "global" is the subcommand of jenv used to set the Java version globally, which means it will be the default version used in all projects or applications unless specifically overridden.
  • "${java_version}" is a placeholder that represents the desired Java version. This is a variable that should be replaced with the actual version number (e.g., 1.8, 11, etc.) that you want to set as the global version.

By running this command with the appropriate Java version, you will instruct jenv to set that specific version as the default Java version for all the projects or applications on your system.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
