The -devel packages will pull in -headless packages as a dependency.
For the purpose of this article, we’re interested in the development kits, so we’ll install the -devel sub-packages instead. This command tells us that packages java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless and java-11-openjdk-headless both provide the java binary. In order to figure out which RPM packages to install, we can ask the packaging system which ones provide the java binary: Let's consider we have a freshly commissioned Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 machine and we'd like to use it for running Java applications. If you prefer to watch a short 4 minute demo video, here it is: Yes, with JDK 11 you can directly run Java source files. $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/bin/java HelloWorld.java Then run Java “Hello World” as follows: $ cat > HelloWorld.java HelloWorld.java <
