How to configure a dedicated JDK for Apache ActiveMQ Artemis?

I need to install an MQ server (Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 2.27.x) on Linux for our team. I just read some documentation and articles.

Since our Linux server is messy, there may be many JDKs, and the environment variables are not reliable, so I want to specify the JDK path for Artemis (like, put JDK in the Artemis directory), but I haven't searched for a satisfactory solution.

I first did a test installation on my Windows machine. I tried modifying artemis.cmd (setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable) and it worked, but I don't think it's a good idea as doing so could be potentially dangerous.

Is there an elegant way to configure JDK for Artemis? Like modifying some Artemis configuration files.

When you run the artemis create command to create an instance of the broker you can either set JAVA_HOME in your environment (e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk) or you can modify the artemis script directly.

Once the instance is created then the proper place to configure JAVA_HOME is in etc/artemis.profile. Just add a line like this:

JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk
