What is SDKMan?
SDKMAN! is a command-line tool for managing parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits (SDKs) on Unix-based systems. It solves the problem of SDK version conflicts by allowing developers to install, switch, and remove different SDK versions easily. The tool supports various SDK candidates like Java, Scala, and Kotlin, providing a unified interface for SDK management.
Developers working on Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS) who need to manage multiple versions of SDKs for different projects, particularly those using JVM languages like Java, Scala, or Kotlin.
Developers choose SDKMAN! because it offers a simple, consistent CLI for SDK management, eliminating manual installation hassles and environment variable tweaking. Its ability to handle parallel SDK versions helps maintain project-specific dependencies without system-wide conflicts.
