I'm trying to run a jar file which checks the installed version of Java explicitly:

*** The version you have requested to build requires Java versions between [Java 8, Java 12], but you are using Java 13

I am able to install OpenJDK 11 from my package manager but then only OpenJDK 13 is available as part of the latest rolling release.

In this case, I am required to use the older JDK 11 for this software on Fedora.

I can't find any information abut Fedora's rolling releases for Java. When does the Fedora project decide to provide extended support of a rolling releases?

  • What do you mean by “rolling release”? Are you talking about Fedora or Java? Commented Jan 26, 2020 at 20:31

As I understand it, the availability of Java packages in Fedora is as follows:

  • long-term support releases of OpenJDK are available as long as they haven’t reached the end of their life;
  • the latest short-term support release is available as the rolling release package.

Thus Fedora 31 currently has OpenJDK 8 (which is still the default), OpenJDK 11, and OpenJDK 13. Some packages are switching to build with OpenJDK 11, but as far as I’m aware there are no plans currently to switch to OpenJDK 11 as the default.
