Bug: `sdk list java` in offline mode, the installed list is incomplete

Bug report

I have installed 3 JDKs, but only show 2 JDKs in offline mode.

To reproduce

//In offline
sdk list java
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offline: only showing installed java versions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * 17.0.4.fx-zulu
 * 11.0.16.fx-zulu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* - installed                                                                   
> - currently in use

Hi @4ooc!

The offline mode works fine for me.

With offline mode

$ sdk list java
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offline: only showing installed java versions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * 22.2.r17-grl
 * 22.1.0.r17-grl
 * 21.3.2.r17-grl
 > 18.0.2-zulu
 * 17.0.4-zulu
 * 11.0.15-tem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* - installed
> - currently in use
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without offline mode

$ sdk list java | grep installed
 GraalVM       |     | 22.2.r17     | grl     | installed  | 22.2.r17-grl
               |     | 22.1.0.r17   | grl     | installed  | 22.1.0.r17-grl
               |     | 21.3.2.r17   | grl     | installed  | 21.3.2.r17-grl
               |     | 11.0.15      | tem     | installed  | 11.0.15-tem
               | >>> | 18.0.2       | zulu    | installed  | 18.0.2-zulu
               |     | 17.0.4       | zulu    | installed  | 17.0.4-zulu

That said, offline mode is severely limited, and should only be used as a last resort.

Future versions of SDKMAN! may change that, though ;).

Hi @4ooc, thanks for the report! 🙏

Could you retest this on the latest version of SDKMAN! (5.21.0) and let us know if the issue is still present? A lot has changed since 5.16.0.

Worth noting: we are planning to remove offline mode entirely in an upcoming release (#1517). The current implementation is severely limited and unreliable — the future direction is an implicit offline experience that just works, rather than an explicit mode users have to toggle.

If you are still seeing the issue on 5.21.0, please let us know and we will investigate. Otherwise we will close this out. Thanks! 😊
