VisualStudioCode needs openJDK11 but I need to compile with version 1.8.
I downloaded openJDK11 and changed the JAVA_HOME variable, but it still shows Java 1.8 installed when I run java -version command:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_261"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_261-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.261-b12, mixed mode)
C:\>javac -version
javac 11.0.2
then:

sudo update-java-alternatives --list
to list off all the Java installations on a machine by name and directory, and then run
sudo update-java-alternatives --set [JDK/JRE name e.g. java-8-oracle]
to choose which JRE/JDK to use.
If you want to use different JDKs/JREs for each Java task, you can run update-alternatives to configure one java executable at a time; you can run
sudo update-alternatives --config java[Tab]
to see the Java commands that can be configured (java, javac, javah, javaws, etc). And then
sudo update-alternatives --config [javac|java|javadoc|etc.]
will associate that Java task/command to a particular JDK/JRE.
