I have a new Macbook Pro M1 Chip, 2020. OS Version is Big Sir 11.4. I tried installing Java OpenJDK 16. These are the instructions I followed . https://knasmueller.net/how-to-install-java-openjdk-16-on-macos-big-sur

when I executed java -version this is the error I get.

exec failed: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=86 "Bad CPU type in executable" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Failed to execute /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-16.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java: Bad CPU type in executable}

Why is this and how to fix it?

You probably need a specific version for the M1 processor architecture. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64788005/java-jdk-for-apple-m1-chip and not the usual x86-64 version for Intel processors – JohannesB Jun 27 '21 at 14:00
@JohannesB: That is something unexpected... What is AdpotOpenJDK??? – PeakGen Jun 27 '21 at 14:02

@JohannesB: At `Azul`, what is the architecture name for M1 Chip? Is it ARM 64 Bit? – PeakGen Jun 27 '21 at 14:13
@PeakGen - read https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1/ – Stephen C Jun 27 '21 at 14:31
AArch64 or ARM64 is the generic family name the M1 processor belongs to. – JohannesB Jun 27 '21 at 14:33
