Update JAVA Path with command line

step.md

To switch to Java 11 using the specified JDK path, you can follow these steps:

1. First, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the Java 11 installation:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-11.jdk/Contents/Home

2. Then, update your PATH to use the new Java version:

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

3. To make these changes permanent, add these lines to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile):

echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-11.jdk/Contents/Home' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc

4. Reload your shell configuration:

source ~/.zshrc

5. Verify that Java 11 is now being used:

java -version

This should now show Java 11 as the current version.

If you're using a version manager like jenv, you can add this Java version and set it as the global version:

jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-11.jdk/Contents/Home
jenv global 11

Remember that after changing your Java version, you might need to clean and rebuild your React Native project:

cd android
./gradlew clean
cd ..
npx react-native run-android

This should ensure that your project is using Java 11 for the build process.
