SDKMan Advance config

As you can see in previous post (“SDKMan Install”), SDKMan is an useful tool for manage your dev machine environments.

Advance config tips

An option that I recently discovered is the way to configure and install projects dependencies in one step.

For example in our .sdkmanrc file, we have the following settings:

java=11.0.11-hs-adpt

Suppose that, after some days we need to specify the Maven version (ex 3.3.9), we can add it in our file:

java=11.0.11-hs-adpt
maven=3.3.9

The only one CLI command we need to use is:

sdk env install

SDKMan checks our envs and if not present (maven in this example) install the missing sdk.

Automatic switch to the chosen JDK version

In your config file (~/.sdkman/etc/config), set true the “sdkman_auto_env” property.

sdkman_auto_env=true

Enjoy, Djacomo
