About Java 16

Java 16 finalized records and instanceof patterns. These features no longer require preview options.

An LTS label describes a release line, not a guarantee for every binary. Update availability and support terms depend on the distribution you choose.

Choose a Java 16 build

This catalog lists 11 distributions for Java 16. Available architecture labels include aarch64, amd64, arm, arm64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x64, x86; availability differs by operating system and vendor.

Choose JDK to compile Java code. If you only need a runtime, use More filters to check for JRE packages. An installer and a compressed archive can contain the same Java version but require different installation steps.

Verify your JDK installation

After installing, open a new terminal and check both commands. They should report Java 16. If they differ, check PATH, JAVA_HOME, and your IDE's selected JDK.

java -version
javac -version
