Yes, I have a dead-simple env.bat/env.sh file that sets up specific Java and Maven versions for programs that IDEs struggle with building. I don't see the need to set up an extra tool to install more Java versions, because I don't rebuild my dev environments from scratch every week. My Java 8 installation is three-years old now and has survived a complete Windows reinstallation.
Good luck when you sysadmin apply a decent automated security suite and removes the old Java 8 installation because isn't updated
If sysadmins do that then you have bigger problems than just disappearing jdks. Run.
