Instead, we use a zip distribution of Java with only two environment variables. This distribution of Java is self-contained that we install anywhere on a local disk where we have permission to write. We download the zip file and extract it to a directory. Read More.
Work on Ballerina Projects Using CLI Tools
Ballerina is a new programming language that shows a lot of promise, especially for microservice and cloud-based development. It is a general-purpose programming language for distributed applications. Since it is relatively new, many IDEs are yet to fully support it with advanced features. Ballerina comes with a CLI tool that has enough features to help developers start working with Ballerina projects. This post shows how we can use Ballerina CLI tools for working on projects.
