Verification

• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I'm trying to run elasticsearch@6 after I've run brew update.

What happened (include all command output)?

After brew update, the current version of openjdk was changed to 18 and elasticsearch@6 formula just depends of openjdk instead of passing a specific version of that (as was @17 7 days ago).

With this change, I started to receive the follow error and elasticsearch is not running anymore:

elasticsearch
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Security Manager is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
	at java.base/java.lang.System.setSecurityManager(System.java:416)
	at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:83)
	```

### What did you expect to happen?

I expect that after I type `elasticsearch` the service runs as it has run before `openjdk` upgrade.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running `brew` commands)

```shell
brew install elasticsearch@6

elasticsearch

As a temporary solution, I had to create a local formula forcing the OpenJDK dependency to @17 and it's working right now.

[SMillerDev]

An easier solution is setting JAVA_HOME to an older java version. I doubt we'll be fixing this unless someone submits a pull request since the software is deprecated and newer versions are not open source anymore.

Saving this in case anyone else has this problem in the future. I was unable to launch elasticsearch@6 because of Java 18 compatibility issues, so I had to install the JDK 17 from here, and make sure that it was found first in the path:
export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17'
Then I had to reinstall elasticsearch, then the dependency openjdk (version 18).
When I ran brew services restart elasticsearch@6 all was well. I was able to curl 127.0.0.1:9200.

[SMillerDev]

Alternative option: brew install openjdk@17 and follow the instructions it prints to set JAVA_HOME. You don't have to reinstall anything else but you will need to restart elastic search.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

How do you make brew services to work with openjdk@17 ?

I've made:

brew install openjdk@17
export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17'
brew reinstall elasticsearch@6

Then starting manually ES with the elasticsearch command works while I stay in the same shell session.

But it won't work when I start ES from another session or through brew services
It'll report the same error as @linqueta reported:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Security Manager is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
	at java.base/java.lang.System.setSecurityManager(System.java:416)
	at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.main(Elasticsearch.java:83)

[inkstak]

I've finally made it work, but I'm not sure this is the right call:

I've edited the service plist at /usr/local/Cellar/elasticsearch@6/6.8.23/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch@6.plist:

     <key>ProgramArguments</key>
     <array>
       <string>/usr/local/opt/elasticsearch@6/bin/elasticsearch</string>
     </array>
     <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
     <dict>
+      <key>JAVA_HOME</key>
+      <string>'/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17'</string>
     </dict>

I had to edit the plist in the Cellar folder instead of the one in ~/Library/LaunchAgents because brew services is overwriting it at every start.

[linqueta]

I was having the same problem using brew services start elasticsearch@6. Thanks @inkstak !

@inkstak I've tried to edit the same file as you did but I keep having the same error:

That's akward: ES seems to run without any issue after booting, but I cannot start it manually.
I've got the same error when running elasticsearch or brew services restart elasticsearch@6.

Lastly I tried to revert changes on the plist file and remove openjdk while keeping openjdk@17.

$ brew uninstall openjdk
Error: Refusing to uninstall /usr/local/Cellar/openjdk/18.0.1
because it is required by elasticsearch@6, which is currently installed.
You can override this and force removal with:
  brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openjdk

$ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openjdk
(..)

$ brew reinstall openjdk@17
(..)

$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.3" 2022-04-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 17.0.3+0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 17.0.3+0, mixed mode, sharing)

$ /usr/libexec/java_home
/usr/local/Cellar/openjdk@17/17.0.3/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home

With only one version of java running locally, it seems to work:

• ES is started after rebooting
• I can restart the service with homebrew
• I can start an elasticsearch process manually

However, that's not a permanent solution:

• homebrew will complain about broken dependencies and is likely to reinstall openjdk at any moment
• you may also have some libraries depending on Java 18.

It'll keep looking for a better approach.

[SMillerDev]

You also need to set JAVA_HOME in your shell if you want to start elasticsearch manually.

I'm closing this since the formula is deprecated.
