'sdkman is missing a specific java version

I have SDKMAN 5.7.3+337 on an Ubuntu 18.10 which is listing these available versions for java:

     13.ea.17-open   > * 10.0.2-open         1.0.0-rc-12-grl
     12.0.1-zulu       * 9.0.7-zulu          1.0.0-rc-11-grl
     12.0.1-librca       9.0.4-open          1.0.0-rc-10-grl
     12.0.1-sapmchn      8.0.212-zulu        1.0.0-rc-9-grl
     12.0.1-open         8.0.212-amzn        1.0.0-rc-8-grl
   + 12.0.0-open         8.0.212-librca
     11.0.3-sapmchn    + 8.0.202-zulu
     11.0.3-zulu         8.0.202.j9-adpt
     11.0.3-amzn         8.0.202.hs-adpt
     11.0.3-librca       8.0.202-zulufx
   + 11.0.2-open         7.0.222-zulu
     11.0.2.j9-adpt      6.0.119-zulu
     11.0.2.hs-adpt      1.0.0-rc-15-grl
     11.0.2-zulufx       1.0.0-rc-14-grl
     10.0.2-zulu         1.0.0-rc-13-grl

while the same SDKMAN version on an Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (as WSL in Windows 10) shows:

13.ea.17-open     * 9.0.4-open          1.0.0-rc-11-grl
12.0.1-sapmchn      8.0.212-zulu        1.0.0-rc-10-grl
12.0.1-zulu         8.0.212-amzn        1.0.0-rc-9-grl 
12.0.1-open         8.0.212-librca      1.0.0-rc-8-grl 
12.0.1-librca     + 8.0.202-zulu 
11.0.3-sapmchn      8.0.202.j9-adpt
11.0.3-zulu         8.0.202.hs-adpt
11.0.3-amzn         8.0.202-zulufx
11.0.3-librca     + 8.0.191-oracle
11.0.2.j9-adpt      7.0.222-zulu
11.0.2.hs-adpt      6.0.119-zulu
11.0.2-zulufx       1.0.0-rc-15-grl
10.0.2-zulu         1.0.0-rc-14-grl
10.0.2-open         1.0.0-rc-13-grl
9.0.7-zulu          1.0.0-rc-12-grl

where 11.0.2-open is missing. Why this happens and how should I solve this?

PS: I already run sdk selfupdate and sdk update



Solution 1:[1]

Even if it is not listed, you can still install the version you require. At least, it worked for me with java 10.0.2-open, which, in my case, did not show up. Give it a try and run the command sdk install java 11.0.2-open

Solution 2:[2]

The easiest way to install a version not listed by e.g. sdk list java is to just write sdk install java 11 then press the TAB key. This will initiate autocomplete which will give you an autocomplete list to choose from.

Disclaimer: this works for me on macos in a terminal running zsh.
