Configuration for homebrew-openjdk for macOS to see it as an installed JVM

homebrew-openjdk-configuration

OpenJDK 1.8
1. Follow the instructions from https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk to tap and install jdk8.
2. Run the following command to create the necessary directories

sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk
sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents
sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/MacOS

3. Run the following commands to link to the existing homebrew-openjdk install

sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk8/jdk8u172-b11
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk8/jdk8u172-b11/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib

4. Copy the contents of https://gist.github.com/chaines27/32810cdfddefeeb5965e2969eb709fb5 to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Info.plist
5. Verify that macOS sees the openjdk by running

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

You should see something like this:

Matching Java Virtual Machines (1):
    1.8.0_172, x86_64:	"OpenJDK 1.8.0"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home


OpenJDK 10.0
1. Follow the instructions from https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk to tap and install jdk10.
2. Run the following command to create the necessary directories

sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk
sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents
sudo mkdir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/MacOS

3. Run the following commands to link to the existing homebrew-openjdk install

sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/Home /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk10/jdk-10.0.1+10
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk10/jdk-10.0.1+10/lib/jli/libjli.dylib /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib

6. Copy the contents of https://gist.github.com/chaines27/14b194becf92f61885857051cfc25518 to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/Info.plist
7. Verify that macOS sees the openjdk by running

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

You should see something like this:

Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
    10.0.1, x86_64:	"OpenJDK 10.0.1"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_172, x86_64:	"OpenJDK 1.8.0"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-10.0.1+10.jdk/Contents/Home

I think line 11 above should be flipped.
So change
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk8/jdk8u172-b11
to
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/adoptopenjdk-openjdk8/jdk8u172-b11 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home

Same for line 37 re: version 10

I fixed symlink creation for jdk home regarding @rsflaherty comments.
