Hi @grahamperrin !

I’m not used to FreeBSD but according to this https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=javavm&sektion=&manpath=freebsd-release-ports you can have different Java versions installed simultaneously. All you would have to do is specifying which version you want to use with env JAVA_VERSION=11+ Note there was a bug with java version > 1.9 that was fixed one year ago : https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237054 Could you try invoking env JAVA_VERION=11+ java -version ?
