## Onboards `jenesis` candidate Adds the `jenesis` candidate per the [vendor onboarding process](https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-cli/wiki/Vendor-onboarding-process). No versions are inserted in this migration; releases will follow via the vendor API once credentials are provisioned. - Repository: https://github.com/raphw/jenesis - Homepage: https://jenesis.build - License: Apache-2.0 - Distribution: `UNIVERSAL` ## What Jenesis is Jenesis is a Java-native build tool focused on the Java module system. Three properties define it: 1. **Configured in plain Java.** There is no external DSL: no XML, Groovy, or Kotlin script. Build descriptors are regular Java code that compiles against the public `build.jenesis` API. 2. **Zero installation.** The launcher is itself a `.java` source file executed via the JVM's single-file launcher. A clone of the project plus a JDK is the entire setup: no wrapper script, lockfile, or pre-built binary required. 3. **Incremental and cache-friendly.** Builds are expressed as a step DAG with content-addressed inputs. Each step reruns only when its inputs change; unchanged steps are served from cache. Builds are reproducible from a clean clone. The default `Layout.AUTO` inspects the project root: a `module-info.java` selects the modular pipeline, a `pom.xml` selects the Maven-compatible one. The same `java build/jenesis/Project.java` invocation works for both. ## Archive shape The SDKMAN distribution is a well-formed `UNIVERSAL` zip: jenesis-<version>/ ├── bin/ │ ├── jenesis (Unix launcher, exec bit set) │ └── jenesis.bat (Windows launcher) ├── lib/ │ └── build.jenesis-<version>.jar └── LICENSE Both launchers prefer \`JAVA_HOME/bin/java\`, fall back to \`java\` on \`PATH\`, and require Java 25 or newer (printing a readable error otherwise). The bundled jar's module descriptor carries a \`main-class\` attribute, so launch is \`java -p lib -m build.jenesis "\$@"\`.

Hey Rafael! 👋 Thanks for the PR — Jenesis looks great! Just spotted a quick formatting thing: the Scala code needs to be run through scalafmt to align with the project's style. Per the README, just run: It'll auto-format everything to spec. After that, you're all set! Cheers 🙂 |

Thanks for the quick feedback and your kind words. I spotted this as quickly as I pushed and force-pushed a fixed commit. |
