About

Oracle Java Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK) is Oracle’s Java development kit for macOS. Oracle describes the JDK as including a complete JRE alongside tools for developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications. This cask installs the JDK 25 macOS package, not a separate JRE-only product.

  • Provides the Java runtime together with development and diagnostic tools.
  • Oracle identifies JDK 25 as a Long-Term Support (LTS) release of the Java SE Platform.
  • The supplied cask supports both Apple silicon and Intel macOS package variants.

Install with brew install --cask oracle-jdk@25. Review and agree to Oracle’s no-fee license terms before installation. Afterward, use the installed JDK with your Java development tools; Oracle provides online documentation and installation instructions on its downloads page.
