jenv: Display all managed JDKs.
$ jenv versions
try on your machine

The command "jenv versions" is used to list all the available versions of the Java environment managed by jenv.

jenv is a command-line tool that allows you to manage multiple JDK (Java Development Kit) installations on your machine. Instead of relying on the default Java installation, jenv allows you to switch between different versions of Java easily.

When you run "jenv versions" in your terminal or command prompt, it displays a list of all Java versions that are installed and managed by jenv. These versions could include different JDK releases such as Java 8, Java 11, or any other installed versions.

The output of the command will typically show the installed Java versions, indicating the current active version with an asterisk (*) symbol. It allows you to identify the available JDKs and their respective paths in your system. You can then use the "jenv" command to set a specific Java version as the active version to be used by your system or specific projects.

Overall, "jenv versions" is a helpful command to list and manage multiple Java versions using jenv on your machine.
