Java version management

[Seba244c]

Suggested new feature or improvement

A way to manage installations of java, either add major java versions to the application tab, og make a seperate tab where you can install Java JDK's and JRE's from different vendors, like OpenJDK , GraalVM and Oracle.

Scenario

Cloning a new project to a machine and that project needs to use specifically Java 20. It would be nice not having to treck to the Oracle website to download it.

Additional details

It would be nice if there was an centralized overview where you could see all installed java versions and update and delete them

@Seba244c WinGet has several different versions of Java JDKs available.

Try running winget search jdk in CMD or PowerShell.

You could also use Find-WinGetPackage in PowerShell if you have installed the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell module.

When you put "jdk" the "search" box in "Install applications" in Dev Home the results are essentially identical.

WinGet configuration files for projects can specify a JDK to be installed.

This doesn't address your feature request, but I wanted to share what's currently available.

You can also add your 👍 to help raise priority on:

• Add additional WinGet capabilities. #1067

We are currently evaluating what an application management experience would be like in Dev Home, it seems related to your request here if you want to take a look and add your thoughts! #1984
