Install Java on Ubuntu 21.10

We have heard of Java and perhaps we relate it to a functionality that allows us to reproduce content and although this is partly true, Java is much more than this, Java allows creating thousands of applications (with those that exist today) being compatible with virtually all modern operating systems..

 

Oracle has developed JDK "Java Development Kit - Java Development Kit" to be a set of tools, documentation and other vital utilities for the development of Java applications, in this way, JDK is integrated by different components such as:

 

JDK components

 

  • A runtime interpreter (JRE)
  • A compiler
  • A debugger
  • An applet viewer

 

 

 

JDK Features
Each of these needs the other to work and that the applications work as they should be. Java is currently in version 16 which offers us features such as:

 

  • Additional Java APIs for Java application development, debugging, and monitoring
  • An API has been introduced to offer access to native code in pure Java and of static type
  • End users are now allowed to select the encapsulation type
  • External memory access API
  • Warnings for value-based classes
  • The default method for compatibility with the default proxy method is InvocationHandler :: invoke
  • Support for Unix domain sockets
  • Day period support added to java.time formats
  • Stream.toList () method was added
  • Improved CompileCommand flag
  • JAR support signed for RSASSA-PSS and EdDSA
  • SUN, SunRsaSign and SunEC providers now support SHA-3 based signature algorithms
  • -Trustcacerts and -keystore options added to keytool -printcert and -printcrl commands
  • SunPKCS11 provider supports SHA-3 related algorithms
  • Encoding of TLS Application Layer Protocol (ALPN) negotiation values ​​has been improved
  • TLS support for EdDSA signature algorithm
