A step-by-step introduction to the RESTEasy framework.

System Requirements:

• OpenJDK for Java 1.8

OpenJDK for Java 1.8:

Which JDKs do I have installed:

Install OpenJDK for Java 1.8:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

Switch versions:

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Confirm the change:
