How to Install Java 17 in Ubuntu 22.04, 22.10, Linux Mint 21
A quick guide on how to install the latest Java 17 in Ubuntu 22.04, 22.10 and Linux Mint 21.x.
A while back, Oracle announced the release of Java 17, the LTS version of this widely used programming language. This release gets support for 8-years, which includes security and performance updates and, of course, bug fixes. Java 17 is officially supported until 2029.
Although this guide tested for ongoing supported Ubuntu and Linux Mint releases, however, should be applicable for other Debian-based distributions in the coming days. Because the PPA that is used in this guide is periodically updated to meet the needs for past and future releases.
Installing Java 17 is not that straightforward without a PPA. Because it’s a licensed product, you don’t get it in the Ubuntu official repo. There are other alternatives to Oracle Java, such as OpenJDK, which is easier to install. But they lack certain functionalities due to terms and conditions from Oracle and may not be suitable for your needs.
