How to switch between multiple versions about homebrew-openjdk HOT 7 CLOSED

Personally, I've added the following lines to my ~/.bash_profile:

# Set java version
# https://www.kevinhooke.com/2017/10/05/switching-java-versions-on-mac-os/
alias j11="export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11`"
alias j8="export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`"
j8

My default jdk is jdk8. When I want to use jdk11, I type j11 and I can come back to jdk8 with j8.

Read https://www.kevinhooke.com/2017/10/05/switching-java-versions-on-mac-os/ for details.

It would be really great if this was part of the readme.

More programmatically from the AdoptOpenJDK repository:

jdk() {
        version=$1
        export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v"$version");
        java -version
 }
