In order to build Kotlin distribution you need to have:
- JDK 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8
- JDK 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 9
- Setup environment variables as following:
JAVA_HOME="path to JDK 1.8"
JDK_16="path to JDK 1.6"
JDK_17="path to JDK 1.7"
JDK_18="path to JDK 1.8"
JDK_9="path to JDK 9"
For local development, if you're not working on bytecode generation or the standard library, it's OK to have only JDK 8 installed, and to point all of the environment variables mentioned above to your JDK 8 installation.
For local development, if you're not working on bytecode generation or the standard library, it's OK to have only JDK 1.8 and JDK 9 installed, and to point JDK_16 and JDK_17 environment variables to your JDK 1.8 installation.
