Java compiler is automatically updating
Hallo,
I am dealing with a weird issue, I am not sure is caused by Intellij. However, I am also not sure what else could cause it. Basically what happens is that once a while my java compiler is "automatically updated". With this I mean, my current version disappeared and a newer version got installed. I have some extra drivers placed in the bin dir of the compiler, funny enough these files are still there, even though all other files from the compiler are removed. I guess that this means that something executed the uninstall of the compiler (not just delete the folder). I am 100% I did not do this on purpose, but I also have no clue what did.
I am using Amazon Corretto, the version I want to keep using is 11.0.17.1. It happened in the passed that this was replaced 19.0.2.7 in the past and today it was "updated" to 11.0.18.10. I am using Intellij 2022.1 (Ultimate Edition) and running on windows 10.
Does anyone know what could cause this and, maybe more important, how I can turn this off?
Thanks a lot :-)
Cheers,
Jurrien

Could you please provide us with more background regarding your situation? For example, how did you install your Amazon Corretto JDK, and do you use some software to auto-update other programs?
I found a description of a similar case on Reddit; please take a look at this answer from the topic starter.
I installed the compiler via the MSI installer. It looks like the post you are referring to is indeed the same problem. I'm sure I am not using a update service on purpose. It sound so stupid to me to have an automatic update service that comes with the compiler. I can't imagine any developer would be happy if suddenly you compiler switches from Java 11 to java 19... Maybe I am weird, and all other developers do like it, I don't know... Anyhow, I'll try to 'install' the compiler using the zip, hopefully is such a way nothing on my computer knows of it existence in hope nothing silently updates the compiler.
Thanks for the help, and I'll try to leave another post if this solved the problem :-)
