This project consists of different modules which have different Swift and Java runtime requirements.

On macOS for example, you can install the JDK with [homebrew](https://brew.sh) using

```bash
$ brew install openjdk
# and create a symlink into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
$ sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

# or if you have a distribution as cask it will be installed into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
$ brew install --cask corretto
```

or you can use a JDK manager like [sdkman](https://sdkman.io/install/) and set your `JAVA_HOME` environment variable

```bash
$ export JAVA_HOME="$(sdk home java current)"
```
