Wouldn't sourcing .bashrc from .profile solve the issue?
It's actually a common practice, and some dists even do this by default.

2 months ago @helpermethod My assumption is that your comment of 'sourcing .bashrc from .profile' would mean the equivalent of first section below, which forms a part of the default, Linux Mint ~/.profile file. However, if that were to be the case, I would have never faced the issue in the first place. So no, to my knowledge this would not fix the issue.
If you meant something else by that though, please let me know and I apologise for the misunderstanding.
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists

PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fiedit: To be clear, I also know how to fix the immediate issue (which helpermethods comment suggested I didn't). The main issue I have is SDKman should be managing this for me. Taken from your website: "Simplifying life. No more hunting for downloads, extracting archives, or tinkering with HOME and PATH environment variables." This implicitly includes the scenario where I want to open a graphical program that is reliant on JAVA_HOME (aka a desktop entry of intellij).
The fact that the first response was to suggest that I source my .bashrc from .profile, suggests two things:
This type of thing can show in incredibly obscure ways (this originally reared it's head as a gradle invalidation of caching issue, which was then traced back to this after a fair amount of head scratching), and I would imagine would be affecting a reasonable amount of users, who are completely unaware of issues/implications.
end-edit
For more context and to help troubleshoot, please see the attached files I am using.
It includes examples of:
When your ~/.profile command does NOT have the ~/.bashrc, both attempts to source either the ~/.profile or the ~/.bashrc from within the executed .sh file from the desktop entry return:

Sleeping for 10s so we can grasp the issue
However, as soon as you uncomment the sdkman section from my ~/.profile file, log out, and log back (this is an important step), I get:

2 months ago Hi @NoPhaseNoKill,
The fact that the first response was to suggest that I source my .bashrc from .profile, suggests two things:
- You acknowledge it is a bug
- This is a design flaw, and you're putting the onus on the user to manage this (which goes against the website text linked above) So while I can fix it, the original post was more letting you know I think it's a bug, and to also try and work together for a fix.
Firstly, I don't really like the tone of the above. Also, @helpermethod was trying to help you, so please be mindful and respectful of how he assisted you. Also, the two assumptions that you made above are incorrect.
Firstly, it's not a bug. Secondly, this is not a design flaw but my express intent when I wrote the tool. SDKMAN is a CLI tool. It's not intended to manage environment variables for your DE but to manage shell environments. If you want to set the environment variables for your DE, the workaround is easy as @helpermethod suggests.
In future, please talk to us in our Discord help channel as per the contributing guidelines before opening an issue here.
Bug report
For Linux Mint, or Ubuntu derivatives, sdkman configures itself into the .bashrc file. This causes issues when opening .desktop entries which are reliant on the JAVA_HOME environment variable, as any applications opened through a GUI, will not have the environment variables set in any of ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login. This causes extremely hard to diagnose bugs, and more often than not, will not present as a 'bug' - but will appear as though IDE's aren't picking up the configuration correctly. Having said that, it absolutely is a bug with sdkman IMO - as I would have expected that out of the box regardless of how I invoke an application (GUI or otherwise) - the expectation is that it will manage my JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly.
Taken from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
"Shell config files such as ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.bash_login are often suggested for setting environment variables. While this may work on Bash shells for programs started from the shell, variables set in those files are not available by default to programs started from the graphical environment in a desktop session."
To reproduce
Install any java 21 version, aka: sdk install java 21.0.4-ms
Confirm that we are using current, aka: 'sdk current' which should print:
Checkout commit from this repo: https://github.com/NoPhaseNoKill/monorepo/commit/13f2e78f97186599dd6fdb2f23099d3dbf986b77 . This has a check during gradle's configuration found here: https://github.com/NoPhaseNoKill/monorepo/blob/master/toolset/build-logic/structural-plugins/src/main/kotlin/com/nophasenokill/ComponentPlugin.kt#L30 which will error if the environment variable JAVA_HOME cannot be found
Install jetbrains toolbox
Install a version of intellij
From a terminal, open intellij from the path that the toolbox exposes:
This should be successful to prove that our v21 java is working.
To do this, create a file in /usr/share/applications named: custom-intellij.desktop
An example desktop entry/file can be found here:
Try running the build again, and see error indicating JAVA_HOME could not be found.
However, if we now move the code that sdkman put in our ~/.bashrc file, into our ~/.profile file , and re-open the exact same desktop file - you will see the build pass - due to the environment variable now being available as per ubuntu's spec.
Please note: You will need to logout after updating the ~/.profile file, as sourcing it is not guaranteed to work for this particular issue.
Further implications/questions of this:
What happens if the sdkman script lives in both bashrc and profile files? Will they become out of sync/run into timing issues? This is the current solution for me, but I'm just not sure if there's anything else I should be aware of. Because we effectively need it on the path (~/.bashrc does this), as well as inside of the ~/.profile file, otherwise you will run into either:
Please let me know if you require any further info. This was incredibly hard to diagnose, and the above is the result of months of troubleshooting and confusion.
Thanks a lot for the contribution to the space, we really do appreciate it, even if you don't hear the community say it often :)
