Join For FreeThe new version of Java is here! But you cannot migrate at this moment, that is not a problem, because you can do it partially.
If this is you problem, then you are in right place. :)
In this article, you will see how to support multiple versions of Java in a Maven project.
Prerequisites
- Installed Maven
- Installed multiple versions of Java
Steps for Supporting Multiple Java Versions
- Create toolchains.xml file
- Possible locations for toolchains.xml
- Add Maven Toolchains dependency in parent .pom
- Add configuration for specific JDK version in modules
- First module, use the feature from JDK 8 and simple JUnit test
- Second module, use the feature from JDK 11 and simple JUnit test
- Third module, use the feature from JDK 14 and simple JUnit test
- Execute 'mvn clean install' and check logs
- Check Java 14 features in IntelliJ
- Source code for this example
Install Maven
Start by updating the package index:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
sudo apt update
Next, install Maven by typing the following command:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
sudo apt install maven
Verify the installation by running the mvn -version command:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
mvn -version
Install Multiple Java Versions
First, update the apt package index with:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
sudo apt update
Once the package index is updated install the default Java OpenJDK package with:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
sudo apt install default-jdk
Verify the installation, by running the following command which will print the Java version:
Shell
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
java -version
The output will look something like this:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
2
3
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3)
4
5
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3, mixed mode, sharing)
Note: Repeat process for all versions of Java, which are required for your specific case.
Steps for Supporting Multiple Java Versions
Create toolchains.xml file
This file will be used in 'maven-toolchains-plugin' and whole configuration for jdk version should be in this file.
XML

Possible Locations for toolchains.xml
Case 1: This file can be located in your ~/.m2 when configuration is user based
Case 2: This file can be located in {maven_home}/conf
Case 3: Can be added as parameter while executing maven command
Add Maven Toolchains Dependency in parent .pom
Parent pom in this example looks like:

In the first module, use the feature from JDK 8 and simple JUnit test.
Simple JDK8 feature:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
17
1
package com.multipleversion;
2
3
import javax.validation.Valid;
4
import java.util.function.IntFunction;
5
6
public class TestJdk8 {
7
8
public TestJdk8() {
9
IntFunction<Integer> doubleIt1 = ( final int x) -> x * 2; // Compiles since Java 8
10
11
// IntFunction<Integer> doubleIt2 = (@Valid final var x) -> x * 2; // Will compile from Java 11
12
13
System.out.println("TestJdk8: " + doubleIt1.apply(5));
14
}
15
16
}
17
Simple test without any assert:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx

33
1
package com.multipleversion;
2
3
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
4
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;

public class Test8 {

10
public static void init() {

System.out.println("");

System.out.println("");
13
System.out.println("#######################################################################################");
14
System.out.println("");
15
}
16
17
18
public void finalize() {
19
System.out.println("");

System.out.println("#######################################################################################");

28
System.out.println("");
29
30
TestJdk8 testJdk8 = new TestJdk8();
31
}
32
33
}
Second module, use the feature from JDK 11 and simple JUnit test.
Simple JDK11 feature:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx

package com.multipleversion;
2
3

4
import java.util.function.IntFunction;

8
public TestJdk11() {

// IntFunction<Integer> doubleIt1 = (@Valid final int x) -> x * 2; // Compiles since Java 8
10
11
// We are using 'var' instead of 'int'
12
IntFunction<Integer> doubleIt2 = ( final var x) -> x * 2; // Will compile from Java 11
13
14
System.out.println("TestJdk11: " + doubleIt2.apply(5));
15
}
16
17
}
18
Simple test without any assert:
Java

System.out.println("");
30
31
TestJdk11 testJdk11 = new TestJdk11();
32
}
33
34
}
Third module, use the feature from JDK 14 and simple JUnit test
Simple JDK14 feature:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
18
1
package com.multipleversion;
2
3
public class TestJdk14 {
4
5
public TestJdk14(Object obj) {
6
if (obj instanceof String s) { // instanceof, cast and bind variable in one line.
7
if ("jdk14".equalsIgnoreCase(s)) {
8
System.out.println("Equals");
9
} else {
10
System.out.println("Not Equals");
11
}
12
} else {
13
System.out.println("Not a string");
14
}
15
}
16
17
}
18
Simple test without any assert:
Java

System.out.println("");
13
System.out.println("#######################################################################################");
14
System.out.println("");
15
}
16

28
System.out.println("");
29
30
TestJdk14 testJdk = new TestJdk14("jdk14");
31
32
TestJdk14 testJdk2 = new TestJdk14("jdk16");
33
34
TestJdk14 testJdk3 = new TestJdk14(1);
35
}
36
37
}
Execute 'mvn clean install' and check logs.
After successful execution you will get logs like:
