Nextflow cannot find Java or it's a wrong version but it seems like I have a higher version

[das2000sidd]

I am trying to get nextflow installed but I am running into a Java version error and it seems like I have a higher version of Java installed. Was wondering if somebody can help me with installing nextflow.
Here is the output to java version check using java --version :

java 18.0.2.1 2022-08-18
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2.1+1-1)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2.1+1-1, mixed mode, sharing)

Here is the output to checking if nextflow works using ./nextflow run tutorial.nf

Error: cannot find Java or it's a wrong version -- please make sure that Java 7 or higher it's installed
Note: Nextflow is trying to use the Java VM defined by the following environment variables:
JAVA_CMD: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-18.0.2.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
JAVA_HOME:

I am using a OS X operating system.

The suggested way to install Java is using SdkMan

I ran into this error when using conda envs and a too new version of Java.

(qiime2-amplicon-2024.10) (base) >>> java --version
openjdk 22.0.1-internal 2024-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 22.0.1-internal-adhoc.conda.src)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0.1-internal-adhoc.conda.src, mixed mode, sharing)

(qiime2-amplicon-2024.10) (base) >>> nextflow
Error: cannot find Java or it's a wrong version -- please make sure that Java 7 or higher it's installed
Note: Nextflow is trying to use the Java VM defined by the following environment variables:

 JAVA_HOME: /root/miniforge3/envs/qiime2-amplicon-2024.10/lib/jvm

"Java 7 or higher " but not 22, that's too high!

Here's what works, and it's using jdk 11

(base) >>> java --version
