  • sdkman is actually very widely used
  • it is very convenient and cross platform, so works on Mac, Windows
  • it will list all available jdks (Amazon, Oracle, MS etc) and versions
  • it downloads the jdks
  • it knows how to install them
  • it allows switching them instantly in the same shell

Honestly, I don’t see many reasons not to use it except for „it’s third party“
