Getting Java through apt-get gives you more or less the worst quality builds https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-May/0...

You get mystery bits that haven't been put through the TCK.

I think a custom package repository could be a proper solution then. This way one would get version upgrades for free. Much better than installing (curl-piping) yet another package management tool `sdkman` with a new syntax.

Though, I might be missing some important details, and I would love to understand it better.

Edit: a sibling comment suggested that now there's a package repository for that, and indeed there is.
