Thanks for the reply Hervé. This is all explained in the links I posted. sdkman acts as a broker, pointing to wherever the binary is hosted. Installing maven is as simple as entering 'sdk install maven' for latest stable, or 'sdk install maven x.y.z' for a particular version. This will do a curl to our central server which will do a redirect to your hosted binary.
Of course, sdkman is backed by a db that needs to be populated, preferably by the owner of the sdk. In the interim I've added the latest versions myself, but it would be great if this is driven by the maven team themselves. Hope this clarifies things a bit more.
