Homebrew-cask: Java 10

Created on 21 Mar 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: Homebrew/homebrew-cask

It would be nice to have a cask for "java9" since "java" now installs Java 10.

Moreover, in my opinion, it would be better to have also a "java10" cask because I'd like to avoid a generic "java" which installs the latest one: today I risked to install Java 10 when I upgraded "java".

Java SE 9 will be a short term release, and users should immediately transition to the next release

Having issues with java10 with kotlin koans / gradle. Unable to downgrade to java9 :(

Java 9 isn't available to download from Oracle.

Can this be reopened? Despite Oracle's directive various systems/projects haven't been updated yet.

We still have java6 and java8 casks after all. There probably could be a java7 one too.

@mtneug shows where it can be downloaded from.

java7 and java9 require an Oracle account to access their downloads.
