### Early Access builds

If you want to use Early Access builds (they allow you to prepare for the next version of the JDK but they are not stable releases), you can set `java_release_type` in `.asdfrc`, the supported values are:
- `ga`: You can only install GA (General Availability / stable) releases (default)
- `ea`: You can only install EA (Early Access / unstable) builds
- `all`: You can install both GA and EA builds

After you set the value (e.g.: `java_release_type=all`), you need to prune the cache of asdf-java so that asdf will refresh the available versions to install:
```shell
export ASDF_JAVA_CACHE_DIR="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/asdf-java.cache/"
ls -al "$ASDF_JAVA_CACHE_DIR"
rm -rf "$ASDF_JAVA_CACHE_DIR"
```

After these steps, `asdf list-all java` should show you the type of builds you set and you can install them.
