How do I upgrade from Java 1.8.0 to Java 11? [closed]

Question

I am using the latest 2020 version of Eclipse. After installing JRE from https://www.java.com/en/download/windows-64bit.jsp, when I run Eclipse, I get this error:

Version 1.8.0_261 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 11 or greater is required.

After checking out java -version from command line, I've found out that my Java version is 1.8.0_261.

So, do I have to upgrade to Java 11? If yes, then how?

Answer 1

Download AdoptedOpenJDK 11 (which is free popular legal JDK to use) from here : https://adoptopenjdk.net/

Install it and set JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME in the environment variable. That's all.

But you can use JDK from other free vendors as well.
