Oracle Java Standard Edition Development Kit

brew install --cask oracle-jdk@21 v21.0.11

Oracle's Java 21 development kit with compiler, runtime, and standard libraries.

Why you might care

Use this if you need Oracle's official JDK for Java development or production deployments, or if you require specific Oracle JDK features. It's the reference implementation and includes latest Java features. However, open-source alternatives like OpenJDK and Eclipse Temurin are free with no licensing concerns.
