# Configure Anypoint Studio to Use Your Own JDK

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Anypoint Studio comes bundled with a Java development kit (JDK), but you can configure it to start
with a different JDK on Windows, Linux, or macOS.

You can find the JDK version used by Studio under **About Anypoint Studio** > **Installation
Details**.

To start Studio using a different JDK, follow the instructions based on your operating system:

- [Windows](https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/change-jdk-for-studio-wx)

- [Linux](https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/change-jdk-for-studio-lx)

- [macOS](https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/change-jdk-for-studio-ox)

## Select the Appropriate Java and Mule Runtime Versions

If you change the Java or Mule runtime versions in your project, consider these facts:

- Mule runtime 4.4 and earlier works with Java 8 and 11.

- Mule runtime 4.6 works with Java 8, 11, and 17.

- Standard support for Java 8 and 11 ends in March 2025 for Mule 4.8 Edge and August 2025 for 4.6
  LTS, so plan your upgrade path for apps that are running on Java 8 or 11 accordingly.

- Studio 7.21 and later builds and runs projects on Java 17 by default. To use Mule 4.9 and later,
  upgrade your apps to run on Java 17.
