install should respect distribution parameter #21
Description
$ vfox install java tem
No java version provided, do you want to select a version to install? [y/N]: Yes
Please select a version of java to install [type to search]:
-> v22+36
I as user specify the variant of the JDK. When vfox asks me for a version, it should use the version of the given distribution, not one from the default JDK.
In this case: OracleJDKs versions are displayed, not the ones of Eclipse Temurin.

The supported interactive workflow is
vfox search java tem: it lists Temurin versions and installs the selected version. In a non-interactive terminal it only lists versions. For a known version, usevfox install [email protected].The current install command accepts multiple SDK arguments, so
vfox install java temtreats java and tem as separate SDK requests; it does not forward tem to the Java plugin. Changing that syntax would conflict with multi-SDK installation.Verified the actual vfox 1.0.12 plugin runtime on macOS ARM64: Temurin search returns versions with the -tem suffix, and Java 21 Temurin download metadata resolves successfully. PR #61 documents the interactive workflow in both languages and fixes outdated Chinese installation examples. This addresses the request through the existing search-and-install workflow; it does not add distribution arguments to install.
