jabba VS jenv

Oh, I see. In that case, it surely isn't worth it. There's still a chance that Jabba will use Disco API for JVMs instead of maintaining its own index: https://github.com/shyiko/jabba/issues/778

https://github.com/shyiko/jabbaIt allows to install multiple different Java distributions like AdoptOpenJDK, OpenJDK, Zuul ..... And you can easily switch between them. One version can be set as default is active in each shell.

https://github.com/jenv/jenv to switch among multiple Java versions

I would recommend https://www.jenv.be/

Look at the https://www.jenv.be/ configure section and add the Java location where Homebrew installed your java. If I remember correctly, it should be somewhere in /usr/local/Cellar/openjdk/**

On my case I prefer use jenv (which is available on aur)

You might like jenv

There are a handful of different ways to temporarily swap out Java versions. In this case, you could probably edit the start scripts to point directly to the path for the Java version you want to use (instead of just "java" which is most likely referring to the most recent). I was already using jEnv for other things, so I configured it so JRE 1.6 would be used in my Nullpomino directory, and the latest JRE would be used everywhere else.

I like jenv for that. You can have a java version set per-project, systemwide, shell session, etc.

I don’t know if this is the “correct” way, but if you are Unix based I would recommend jenv. This is a Java environment manager, similar to pyenv if you know it. Using this tool you can easily switch from one installed version to another. It makes managing Java versions a bliss.
