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 oracle-10.0.2

and switch versions like this:

asdf global java oracle-10.0.2

If you want or need JAVA_HOME set you can add this to your shell initialization (in .bashrc, for example):

asdf_update_java_home() {
  local current
  if current=$(asdf current java); then
    local version=$(echo $current | sed -e 's|\(.*\) \?(.*|\1|g')
    export JAVA_HOME=$(asdf where java $version)
  else
    echo "No java version set. Type `asdf list-all java` for all versions."
  fi
}
asdf_update_java_home

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