Solution

I've been using SDK Man for years to install, update and change java versions with simple commands. It will take care of the installation and environment variable setup as well.

Here is a simple guide for mac users

Once the sdkman is installed, you can use it from the commandline:

sdk ls java

It will return a table with all the available versions. The cleanest choice is the lastest 'official' LTS version, where the vendor is Java.net and the current latest version is 11.0.11-open

Sdkman also helps you with a command sample at the bottom of the table, so for the current latest LTS openJDK, I would go with:

sdk install java 11.0.11-open

And that's all. Or if you have previously installed java versions (installed through other means) it is best to remove them.
