jEnv is a command-line tool, adapted from rbenv, for managing multiple Java JDK/JRE installations on a development machine. It lets you switch Java versions globally, per-directory, or per-shell and automatically sets JAVA_HOME.

Use cases

  • switch between java versions per project
  • set JAVA_HOME automatically in my shell
  • manage multiple JDKs on macOS
  • use java 8 for android and java 11 for server projects
  • pin a java version per directory
  • list installed JDKs from the terminal

When to choose

  • you develop across projects requiring different Java versions
  • you want rbenv-style version switching for Java
  • you need per-directory or per-shell JAVA_HOME control

When to avoid

  • you expect it to install Java for you - it only manages already-installed JDKs
  • you need Windows support
  • you want a GUI JDK manager
