How to see brew installed java with java -version command?

Question

I have installed java open jdk latest version with homebrew with the following command:

brew install openjdk

I try to to check installed versions with the command

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

Nothing showing.

And the command java -version also showing :

No Java runtime present, requesting install

Where is my java ? How can I see installed version and use it and see it with java -version command

I recommend installing the JDK cask temurin instead:

brew uninstall openjdk
brew install temurin

Otherwise, you must symlink the openjdk formula into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines:

sudo ln -sfn $(brew --prefix openjdk)/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

Why would you not just sym link it? – Alex W Feb 25 '22 at 14:33
Less steps (and therefore less maintenance) – fn control option Feb 25 '22 at 17:40
However, I recommend symlinking if you already use `openjdk` (e.g. as a dependency of another formula) – fn control option Feb 25 '22 at 17:43
