JDK Switch

jdk-switch

A zsh plugin for quickly switching between different jdk versions, and the jdk status won't be restored after reloading the shell. Please notice currently this plugin only works on macOS.

Install

1. Clone this repository in oh-my-zsh's plugins directory

   git clone https://github.com/LockonS/jdk-switch.git $ZSH/custom/plugins/jdk-switch
   

2. Enable the plugin by adding jdk-switch in plugins in your ~/.zshrc

   plugins=( [plugins...] jdk-switch)
   

3. Usage

   # use jdkswitch to switch between different jdk versions
   # switch to jdk 8
   $ jdkswitch 1.8
   # or
   $ jdkswitch 8
   
   # check activating jdk
   $ jdkstatus
   

Notice

1. This plugin works as a tiny tool to help you switch between different jdk versions by writing the jdk version you are currently using to a file and reloading the shell itself, so the setting would not be affected if you reload your shell and no additional useless part would show up in PATH. And that's also the the sole purpose of developing this plugin.

2. This plugin manages the environment variable like PATH, $JAVA_HOME and $CLASS_PATH, so be cautious while changing these variables in your ~/.zshrc or anywhere else, especially when adding settings about configuring the java environment which has something to do with any of these variables, as the plugin setting might be overridden by your own setting.
