How to set or change the default Java (JDK) version on OS X?

Question

How can you change the default version of Java on a mac?

Answer 1

I have done it for the local terminal with

export JAVA_8_HOME=(/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_221.jdk/Contents/Home/)
export JAVA_13_HOME=(/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/)

alias java8='export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_8_HOME; alias java="$JAVA_8_HOME/bin/java"; $JAVA_8_HOME/bin/java -version'
alias java13='export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_13_HOME; alias java="$JAVA_13_HOME/bin/java"; $JAVA_13_HOME/bin/java -version'

export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_13_HOME
