You get mystery bits that haven't been put through the TCK.
- nlitened 5y agoI think a custom package repository could be a proper solution then. This way one would get version upgrades for free. Much better than installing (curl-piping) yet another package management tool `sdkman` with a new syntax. Though, I might be missing some important details, and I would love to understand it better. Edit: a sibling comment suggested that now there's a package repository for that, and indeed there is.
