Description of issue

I'm using SDKman for managing my JDK and JRE installations -- and yet Homebrew seems to want to install and manage its own openjdk versions where needed. In my case:

brew uses --installed --recursive java11
pdftk-java

How do I configure Homebrew so that -- instead of using Homebrew formulae for JDK / JRE dependencies -- to instead use SDKman for those JDK / JRE dependencies?

There isn't a homebrew way to do this since switching out dependencies for random other software isn't really supported. In the Java world a lot of tools check JAVA_HOME before they check PATH though. So that will help somewhat.
