Unable to locate package openjdk-15-jdk

Question

Getting error while install openjdk-15-jdk on my Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

Command I'm using: sudo apt-get install openjdk-15-jdk Error: E: Unable to locate package openjdk-15-jdk

I used similar command to install openjdk-14, which ran successfully. What's causing this issue? How can I install jdk-15?

No recommendation for it. sudo apt-get install openjdk-

Solution 1

It gives no openjdk-15-jdk in the repos from ubuntu :)

sudo apt list | grep openjdk

Ups better you use "apt search openjdk" for the correct command, the first is bad code :P

Solution 2

More recent JDKs are available via snap, Ubuntu's alternative installation approach. Search there, or try:

snap search openjdk

E.g. currently jdk 18 is available.

Note that these versions by default have carefully restricted permissions. See the documentation at jgneff/openjdk: Current JDK release and early-access builds for details and options.

Yes. Just observed that it's not giving it in recommendations.
