Java Version Manager inspired by nvm (Node.js). Written in Go.
The goal is to provide unified pain-free experience of installing (and switching between different versions of) JDK regardless of the OS (macOS, Linux x86/x86_64/ARMv7+, Windows x86_64).
This is a community fork of the original project and is currently a work in progress. There may be some out of date instructions in the README, please bear with us while we get things going.
jabba install
The JDK index is powered by DiscoAPI as such some of the JDK's may be named slightly differently from the old index The index will give you the list of jdks for your OS and architecture
... and from custom URLs.
See jabba-wrapper
brew install jabba
Add the following to your .zshrc
[ -s "$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/jabba/jabba.sh" ] && . "$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/jabba/jabba.sh"
If HOMEBREW_PREFIX
isn't already defined for you run:
brew --prefix
to get the value
(in bash/zsh/...)
export JABBA_VERSION=...
curl -sL https://github.com/Jabba-Team/jabba/raw/main/install.sh | bash && . ~/.jabba/jabba.sh
Use the same command to upgrade, you can also upgrade from shyiko's 0.11.2 by running this command
The script modifies common shell rc files by default. To skip these provide the --skip-rc
flag to install.sh
like so:
export JABBA_VERSION=...
curl -sL https://github.com/Jabba-Team/jabba/raw/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --skip-rc && . ~/.jabba/jabba.sh
Make sure to source jabba.sh
in your environment if you skip it:
export JABBA_VERSION=...
[ -s "$JABBA_HOME/jabba.sh" ] && source "$JABBA_HOME/jabba.sh"
In fish command looks a little bit different - export JABBA_VERSION=...
curl -sL https://github.com/Jabba-Team/jabba/raw/main/install.sh | bash; and . ~/.jabba/jabba.fish
If you don't have
curl
installed - replacecurl -sL
withwget -qO-
.If you are behind a proxy see - curl / wget manpage. Usually simple
http_proxy=http://proxy-server:port https_proxy=http://proxy-server:port curl -sL ...
is enough.
While you can use the same snippet as above, chances are you don't want jabba binary & shell
integration script(s) to be included in the final Docker image, all you want is a JDK. Here is the Dockerfile
showing how this can be done:
FROM buildpack-deps:jessie-curl
RUN curl -sL https://github.com/Jabba-Team/jabba/raw/main/install.sh | \
JABBA_COMMAND="install 1.15.0 -o /jdk" bash
ENV JAVA_HOME /jdk
ENV PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
(when
JABBA_COMMAND
env variable is setinstall.sh
downloadsjabba
binary, executes specified command and then deletes the binary)
$ docker build -t <image_name>:<image_tag> .
$ docker run -it --rm <image_name>:<image_tag> java -version
java version "1.15.0....
(in powershell)
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Use the same command to upgrade, you can also upgrade from shyiko's 0.11.2 by running this command
Scoop
Whilst jabba is listed in the Scoop package manager, scoop only install the binary, it doesn't add the shell integration, it is recommended you install from the script above or try adding the shell integration manually while we investigate the proper fix, see the (issue here)[https://github.com/Jabba-Team/jabba/issues/48] for details.

or simply as1.8
(same as~1.8

(mind the quotes)).jsyk: jabba keeps everything under
~/.jabba
(on Linux/Mac OS X) /%USERPROFILE%/.jabba
(on Windows). If at any point of time you decide to uninstall jabba - just remove this directory.

Q: What if I already have java
installed?
A: It's fine. You can switch between system JDK and jabba
-provided one whenever you feel like it (jabba use ...
/ jabba deactivate
).
They are not gonna conflict with each other.
Q: How do I switch java
globally?
A: jabba doesn't have this functionality built-in because the exact way varies greatly between the operation systems and usually involves elevated permissions. But. Here are the snippets that should work:
(in powershell as administrator)
# select jdk
jabba use ...
# modify global PATH & JAVA_HOME
$envRegKey = [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::LocalMachine.OpenSubKey('SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment', $true)
$envPath=$envRegKey.GetValue('Path', $null, "DoNotExpandEnvironmentNames").replace('%JAVA_HOME%\bin;', '')
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('JAVA_HOME', "$(jabba which $(jabba current))", 'Machine')
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', "%JAVA_HOME%\bin;$envPath", 'Machine')
(tested on Debian/Ubuntu)
# select jdk
jabba use ...
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java ${JAVA_HOME%*/}/bin/java 20000
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac ${JAVA_HOME%*/}/bin/javac 20000
To switch between multiple GLOBAL alternatives use
sudo update-alternatives --config java
.
