Make SDKMAN work in TMUX

Christoph Frick - ofnir.net

SDKMAN -- the tool formerly known as GVM -- inherited a problem if used in tmux: in the newly started sessions within tmux the paths are not longer setup correctly to run the installed tools (e.g. like groovy).

To just make SDKMAN initialize again for each new tmux window, add this in your .zshrc (or in the .*rc of your shell) before your call to sdkman-init.sh:

if test "x$TMUX" != "x"; then
        export SDKMAN_INIT=false
