What's the latest version of Java for Mac or sierra?

345 Asked by CarolynBuckland in Java , Asked on Oct 11, 2022

On my High Sierra Mac

java --version

gives

java version "1.8.0_172"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

but in Oracle's documentation and list of downloads I see references to versions that are much higher, notably 9 or even 10.

What is the most up to date version of Java intended for use with macOS High Sierra?

See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204036, which recommends to download the most recent version directly from Oracle to get Java for Mac or sierra

https://www.java.com/de/download/mac_download.jsp: Version 8, Update 171

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre10-downloads-4417026.html, Version 10.0.1
