Description

SDKMan (https://sdkman.io/) is a quite nice package manager for unix-ish OSs and it lets you install all kinds of java sdk flavours, switch between them etc. It also has other "SDKs" like Springboot, Micronaut etc.

I thought, it would be nice to have karaf installable like this:

sdk install karaf

This also supports upgrading, (sdk update karaf) and managing different flavours (say in karaf there is standard and minimal). 

There is a PR at SDKMan to get this started. https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-db-migrations/pull/216
