Switching jdk versions on mac, easily!

I have struggled many times to switch between different JDK versions quickly. There always seemed to be many steps required to be done.

Ever since I started using openjdk, and then focussing on doing my machine setup via a script (as opposed to doing each step manually), I came across this very simple way of switching the jdk.

Setting up common software on a new Mac

Have you ever felt it overwhelming to install all the software you commonly need on a new Mac?

I do!

To help in the machine setup, I have a simple script that I execute to get the software installed in a easy and consistent way. You can take a look at it as well here- https://bit.ly/setupMachine

Let me know if you have any other apps that should be added to the script!
