MacOS users, Java problems in Big Sur? HELP

Pablo Herrero on November 14, 2020

Well, yesterday I impatiently upgraded to MacOs Big sur and since then I can't use any of my IDEs (Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ). They don't recogni...

The workaround is to manually set the JDK path in the netbeans.conf file.

e.g. with AdoptOpenJDK 8 installed.

sudo vi /Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 12.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here's what I've found out so far:

  • If you're already using Java 15 everything works fine (tested with AdoptOpenJDK 15, installed with homebrew). Big Sur's /usr/libexec/java_home will detect Java 15 and set appropriate environment variables.

  • However /usr/libexec/java_home does not find Java 11 (tested with AdoptOpenJDK 11, installed with homebrew). Reinstall has no effect. Calling /usr/libexec/java_home -v 11 returns the path of Java 15. So yes, this seems to be broken in the shell. But IDEs with their own JDK configuration like IntelliJ are still able to use Java 11.

I haven't tried other versions than AdoptOpenJDK 11 and 15, but I guess they will behave like 11. Also note that I'm using homebrew to install all my developer tools and homebrew currently says:

Warning: You are using macOS 11.0.
We do not provide support for this released but not yet supported version.
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.

Sorry, but it doesn't work .. with JDK 15 the NetBeans installer still can't find the JDK.

The truth is that it is very VERY annoying. I am lucky to have another laptop with Windows, otherwise I would be totally thrown away...

I heard that Big Sur was causing problems with developer tools. Fortunately the download failed for me first time so it was never installed. Probably better to wait until they release a new update with bug fixes.

Hi Pablo,

Here is the solution for the Java issue after upgrading to Big Sur.

You need to create the symlink for the libjvm.dylib as follows (please replace the JDK version per your installation)

sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/libserver.dylib

I've tried what you tell me, but the NetBeans installer still doesn't recognize that I have no JDK installed.

I use sdkman to manage my JDKs and other java-related stuff. It works pretty good even on MacOS Big Sur. I would recommend it.

I also use sdkman, but I can not start jnlp files using javaws (although it is on the PATH and can be called without full path) because /usr/libexec/java_home refuses to recognize my java installation:

> /usr/libexec/java_home

The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.
Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java.

Any pointers how to solve that? (Big Sur 11.5.2, AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.11)

Thanks. It fixed the issue when using Intellij.

I'm having a similar problem. I can't use Oracle Forms... Java isn't recognizing the jnlp filetype. Everything worked fine until I upgraded to Big Sur last night. Anybody have any idea how I can fix this? If I try using Java Web Start from the terminal line... it does at least recognize the jnlp file... but I need to somehow reassociate the jnlp filetype. I'm not a Mac expert, this is my first so I have no clue.

I have posted a step by step instruction on how to install and configure OpenJDK 15 for macOS Big Sur, maybe you find this helpful!

Sorry to hear that! Apple OS updates often come with a lot of big issues.

I am also facing the issue once I updated to Big Sur. If anyone has any solution please do help.
