Instead of spending Black Friday buying stuff I don’t really need, I’m sponsoring open source #Java projects that I rely on. Next up is SDKMAN! (sdkman.io). While I don’t use it as often as JUnit or AssertJ, it helps me manage my huge variety of JDKs installed.

SDKMAN! is a tool for managing parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits on most Unix based systems.

JUnit is undoubtedly one of the most important projects in the #Java ecosystem. And it's 100% free and open!
Let me be frank: If we can't get THIS project to the point where a single maintainer can focus on it, then what does that say about our commitment to Free & Open Source Software?
