Hi,

All my recent Processing projects were written with openJDK 10 in IntelliJ Idea, using the Processing jar files as a library. Everything was good 🙂

After I upgraded Ubuntu, openJDK 10 is gone, and I can now only install 8, 11, 12 and 13. Going back to 8 would involve changing all my code and removing all the nice new Java features.

With version 11, I get

```auto

Same error when trying @sampottinger’s binaries and Processing 3.5.3’s.

Any suggestions to make programs run with Java 11?

The linker is buggered on stock OpenJDK, I suggest you install AdoptOpenJDK11+ instead, that is what Sam Pottingers fork is doing. There is a choice of jvm to to install `hotspot` is the conservative choice.

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to try figure that out and report back.

The download URL seems to be this:

> **[AdoptOpenJDK](https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot)**
>
> AdoptOpenJDK provides prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from a fully open source set of build scripts and infrastructure. Supported platforms include Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, Solaris, and AIX.

Works! Thank you!

I didn’t find the .deb.

- I got the AdoptOpenJDK11 .tar.gz
- Unpacked it somewhere
- In Idea
  - open Project Structure \> SDK, add the new SDK folder just unpacked
  - Run \> Edit configurations, in the existing configuration, change JRE to point to the new SDK

- Run program, enjoy 🙂

Gee now I see what I did wrong. The Ubuntu openJDK 11 package does indeed work, so no AdoptOpenJDK download required in my case.

There are 5 places where you can change settings related to the version, and I had not changed the important one which is this:

 ![02_sdk](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/9/94fbd6f0bbb2d0caee52e3ab3d9ae8225a202951.png)  
I already had a version 11 there, but it was broken somehow so I deleted all SDKs from the list and I added the right path in `/usr/lib/jvm/` and voilà!

These are the other locations:

 ![01_run_conf](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/1/16ad6f39763b9e4a891af6a33f20d0ee87f46053.png)  
 ![03_more_sdk](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/c/c89877110dd580a5a6d59b323ba1c7eba31c8866.png)

I forgot how to configure this properly as I didn’t change it in years 😓

Thank you so much for taking the time to document how to do this in IntelliJ Idea, @hamoid – really helpful.

I know this post is a bit old but I thought it might still be relevant. I wanted to give an update on this because things are now different in my two computers:

In my **Ubuntu** 20.04 with GTX1060 using IntelliJ Idea I’m running programs fine with the standard `openjdk-14-jdk` package, the Processing 3.5.4 libraries, using Java 14 features and half of my source code files are now in Kotlin instead of Java.

In my **Archlinux** laptop with Intel Graphics 4600, same IDE, same Processing, same programs fail to run using the ArchLinux `java-14-openjdk` package (`Inconsistency detected by ld.so`) but run fine if I use `jdk-adoptopenjdk` from AUR (which currently comes with version 15).

So the situation seems to be reversed: adoptopenjdk no longer needed in my Ubuntu, but now it is in Arch.

So @monkstone’s suggestion seems to still be valid 🙂
