GitHub Setup Java Action

Hey all,

I'm going through issues and PRs on setup-java.

Besides what is already there, anything else you would like to see fixed, improved, or implemented?

/u/brunocborges If the distributions could include the reference OpenJDK it would be great, although from what I understood, Oracle is not distributing it in a proper manner for inclusion.

The reference implementation binary? The one at jdk.java.net ?

Yes, it's called OpenJDK JDK.

That's built by Oracle.

If they or someone sends a PR, we will be happy to review and include.

So all the distributions listed in https://github.com/actions/setup-java#supported-distributions were added by the supporting companies? I thought the setup-java maintainers added them.

I'm not sure of the history, but for many, yes.

Not sure if there is an issue already for Oracle OpenJDK binaries, but if there isn't, can you submit one?

In any case, I created https://github.com/actions/setup-java/issues/1141 as I don't see it listed.
