Im new with sdkman, but I managed to install it and install some software with it: JDK, Gradle and a few others. The problem is that after I downloaded Eclipse and tried to run it, it just simply can't find the JDK. I have already exported JAVA_HOME, and PATH. In fact, I can actually run java, javac and other Java commands from the terminal, I even tried with update-alternatives. I have changed the ownership of the eclipse folder with no results, Eclipse cannot find the JDK.
I had to install java with apt-get and that makes eclipse work, but whats the of using sdkman? So my question is: What configuration am I missing to make Eclipse use the sdkman java installation.
I faced the same issue and resolved it by creating a symbolic link in /usr/bin for both java and javac.
sudo ln -s ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/javac /usr/bin/javac
sudo ln -s ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java /usr/bin/java
I got these locations by doing
which javac
which java
