Here's what you need for Java:
Download SDKMan/Jenv
Install the version(s) of Java you need for your projects
Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set
Ensure your IDEs locate the correct Java home
Compared to all that, Elixir's two installers are trivial.
And if you have a competent package manager, you can just tell it to get Elixir and it'll handle Erlang for free.
- vips7L 5mo agoNo you don't. The process is exactly the same for Java.
- WolfeReader 5mo agoNah, I work on a team that has multiple microservices written over the years in different versions of Java. "Just click the installer" is not sufficient. That's why programs like jenv, SDKman, nvm, and others even exist (and are popular). Your lack of real-world experience is showing.
- vips7L 5mo agoLOL LaCk oF eXpErIeNcE. Bro all you have to do is open intellij and it will prompt you to install the correct version of Java.
- WolfeReader 5mo agoDon't tell OP this - he doesn't want to install multiple things. You'll scare him away from Java.
- 7bit 5mo agoJava is ugly anyway
