How do I set the Java version for Flutter?

To set the Java version in Flutter, you can specify the path to the JDK directory using the flutter config command. Follow these steps:

  1. Download and Install JDK:
    • Download and install the required version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) if you haven’t already. You can get it from the Oracle website or use OpenJDK.
  2. Locate the JDK Directory:
    • Once installed, locate the JDK directory on your system. Typically, this will be something like:
      • Windows: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-<version>
      • macOS/Linux: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-<version>/Contents/Home or /usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>
  3. Set the JDK Directory in Flutter:
    • Open your terminal or command prompt.
    • Run the following command, replacing <DIRECTORY> with the path to your JDK installation: flutter config --jdk-dir=<DIRECTORY> Example: flutter config --jdk-dir="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.12/Contents/Home"
  4. Verify the Configuration:
    • To ensure the JDK directory is set correctly, you can check the Flutter config with:bashCopy codeflutter config --list You should see the jdk-dir path listed in the output.

This process allows you to set the Java version for Flutter development, ensuring compatibility with Flutter’s build system.
