asdf-java

Java plugin for the asdf version manager.

Install

After installing asdf, you can add this plugin like this:

asdf plugin-add java

and install new versions like this:

asdf install java openjdk-11.0.1

and switch versions like this:

asdf global java openjdk-11.0.1

If you want or need JAVA_HOME set you can load our asdf wrapper to your shell initialization (in .bashrc, for example):

. ~/.asdf/plugins/java/asdf-java-wrapper.bash

Or in .zshrc

. ~/.asdf/plugins/java/asdf-java-wrapper.zsh

If you need to disable colors, try:

export ASDF_JAVA_PLAIN=truthy

If you need Gradle or Maven, you can use asdf plugins for those, too.

asdf plugin-add maven https://github.com/skotchpine/asdf-maven
asdf plugin-add gradle https://github.com/rfrancis/asdf-gradle

Homage

This plugin wouldn't be possible without the current Java version managers. Here's a list of repos with similar affects that were heavily referenced here:

• jabba
• sdkman
• Arch's JDK
