I certainly do not read any "not possible" here and do not have any issues installing several JDKs in parallel, either: $ /usr/libexec/java_home -V Matching Java Virtual Machines (5): 9.0.4, x86_64: "Java SE 9.0.4" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home 1.8.0_162, x86_64: "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home 1.7.0_79, x86_64: "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_79.jdk/Contents/Home
