To be able to run commands in this post, you must have sudo privileges.

Update the system repository index.

Eclipse requires Java JDK 8 or newer to be available on your machine. You can either use Oracle JDK or OpenJDK.

For this demo, I will use OpenJDK 11.

COPY

sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk

Verify the Java version on your machine.

COPY

java -version

Output:
