Hi there,

Apologies if I am missing something obvious, and I am very new to Java so again, apologies if required, but how do I actually use this please?

I have installed the relevant (full) cask (Liberica JDK 21.0.2+14), which I can see in the Homebrew Caskroom, but cannot see any obvious executables which have been added, and there is nothing I can see in my Applications folder. I have had a look on the website, but cannot see instructions for using Homebrew.

I am on MacOS Sonoma (14.3).

Thanks a lot :-) Mike

Oh, I think I may be running into trouble because I already have Java installed, which made it appear as if nothing had happened. I had expected to find a mechanism of using this version specifically e.g. a liberica, so that I could run an old program which requires JavaFX, but I wonder if it was actually installed but just with the java executable, so it didn't appear as if anything had happened for me? Does that sound plausible?
