Thanks, Michael, Christian, and Johan, for your help and ideas!
I finally had the chance to dive in. I couldn't just install temurin (Java
21), since I already had used Homebrew to install temurin@8 (which I need
for eXist). Whenever I've previously needed to switch between two versions
of Java I would use homebrew to uninstall one and install the other. This
takes time, so it wasn't ideal. I would like to run eXist and BaseX
whenever I need them, without this hassle. So this gave me a chance to try
out jenv. I followed a few tutorials. The best one I found was
https://www.baeldung.com/jenv-multiple-jdk.
Hopefully the underlying bug causing the weird error on macOS will be
solved, but in the meantime, this will do the trick.
Below are some of the commands I used, in the hope that this might help
others who need to run multiple versions of Java.
Thanks again!
Joe
# install jenv - and follow the installer's hints to add lines to your
.zshrc or .profile
brew install jenv
# install the versions of java you need
brew install temurin temurin@8
# register these versions
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jdk/Contents/Home
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.jdk/Contents/Home
# set the global java to 8 - a good default for me
jenv global 1.8
# set the current shell to 21 - so I can start basexgui in this terminal
without affecting other places
jenv shell 21.0
# check current shell version
jenv versions
system
1.8
1.8.0.392
* 21.0 (set by JENV_VERSION environment variable)
21.0.1
temurin64-1.8.0.392
temurin64-21.0.1
