Seamless Integration with Apache Maven

Seamless Integration with Apache Maven

ServBay directly integrates the popular Java project management and build automation tool—Apache Maven, requiring no additional installation and configuration, simplifying the development process. With Maven, you can easily manage dependencies, execute compilation, testing, packaging, and deployment build tasks directly in your project, significantly improving development efficiency.

Clear, Isolated Multi-version JDK Management

Manually installing multiple JDK versions in the operating system can lead to version interference due to improper installation paths and environment variable settings, or even leave residual files after uninstallation, polluting the system environment. ServBay provides unified management for OpenJDK. Installation, uninstallation, and version status viewing are all clear and straightforward. More importantly, these versions are isolated from each other under ServBay's management, allowing you to confidently install and use any version from 7 to 24 without worrying about them interfering with the system or other applications, maintaining a clean and stable macOS environment.

Convenient Version Compatibility Testing and Migration Support

When upgrading projects from old Java versions to new ones, or needing to verify application compatibility across multiple Java LTS versions (such as 8, 11, 17, 21), manual switching and testing can be time-consuming. ServBay's parallel multi-version and project-level version switching capabilities make this work exceptionally simple. You can easily switch between different OpenJDK versions for testing the same project copy. Just modify the project configuration in ServBay, no need for global changes or complex environment switching scripts. This greatly simplifies the compatibility verification process and regression testing before version upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have more questions, please visit the Help Center.
Does ServBay's OpenJDK require manual setup?

No. ServBay will automatically download and install your chosen OpenJDK version and configure the related environment, you just need to select it in the interface.

How can I ensure my old Java projects will run?

ServBay supports multiple versions starting from OpenJDK 7, which can be installed simultaneously in the system. You can specify corresponding OpenJDK versions (such as JDK 7 or 8) for projects requiring older Java versions, which won't affect other projects using newer versions.

Does ServBay support build tools like Maven?

ServBay primarily provides and manages the underlying OpenJDK environment, and provides Apache Maven for automated build support for your Java projects.

What if I need specific OpenJDK distributions (like Adoptium, GraalVM etc.) that ServBay doesn't provide yet?

Currently, ServBay built-in supports mainstream versions of Zulu's OpenJDK 7 to 24. However, the differences between different distributions are minimal, as they all use standard official code, which won't significantly impact development.
