Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7121:
-------------------------------------

I have moved this to wontfix-candidate for now becuase no one of us will work 
on this. I if no traction will happen in a couple of months this will be closed.

> better support for multiple JDK

> Java evolves at a much faster pace now. In the compay I work for we have 
> projects on Java 6 (sadly yes), 8, 11 and 15.
>  
> The toolchains plugin helps, but it involves manually editing an  xml file, 
> and in my experience people tend to forget about it.
>  
> I think a better user experiense would be a ~/.m2/jdks folder, with one 
> subfolder per jdk, a little like sdkman does it.
> Maven could even automaticlly download the one you need for a specific 
> project if it is not already present, like it does with any dependency. It 
> will be more portable and less manual work. Dependency handling and jdk 
> handling will be managed be maven in a consistent way, cloning a project from 
> github will be way more straightforward.
