Configure Anypoint Studio to Use Your Own JDK
Anypoint Studio comes bundled with a Java development kit (JDK), but you can configure it to start with a different JDK on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
You can find the JDK version used by Studio under About Anypoint Studio > Installation Details.
To start Studio using a different JDK, follow the instructions based on your operating system:
Select the Appropriate Java and Mule Runtime Versions
If you change the Java or Mule runtime versions in your project, consider these facts:
-
Mule runtime 4.4 and earlier works with Java 8 and 11.
-
Mule runtime 4.6 works with Java 8, 11, and 17.
-
Standard support for Java 8 and 11 ends in March 2025 for Mule 4.8 Edge and August 2025 for 4.6 LTS, so plan your upgrade path for apps that are running on Java 8 or 11 accordingly.
-
Studio 7.21 and later builds and runs projects on Java 17 by default. To use Mule 4.9 and later, upgrade your apps to run on Java 17.
