Oracle JDK 21 support #538
Conversation

Thanks for updating! Please note that this is Oracle JDK and not OpenJDK. |
|
You’re right @fniephaus ! I’ve been typing OpenJDK too much at work! I updated the title and description. |
|
What's the status of this PR? I'd really appreciate being able to use JDK 21 in actions. Thanks! |

Hi, @rjeberhard 👋 We'll take a look at the PR, but even without it, you already can install Oracle JDK 21 with setup-java. |

| The `java-version` input supports an exact version or a version range using [SemVer](https://semver.org/) notation: | |||
| - major versions: `8`, `11`, `16`, `17` | |||
| - major versions: `8`, `11`, `16`, `17`, `21` | |||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Does this also add support for specific versions? ie : 21.0.1 or will this be included in a subsequent change?

That's only the documentation, but yes more generally the minor and patch versions will work

@asolntsev I'm sorry but I just contributed this small PR and I'm not a member of the project, I have no idea when they'll do a release |

Oracle JDK 21 should already be working fine. This PR just adds documentation and a test for it. Just specify java-version 21 or 21.0.1 or something like that and you should be good to go. Otherwise, please notify us here 🙂 |

@fniephaus Thank you for the response. I confirm, Java 21 is usable (see my working snippet below). The documentation should reflect the truth, right? - name: Set up JDK
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
java-version: '21'
distribution: 'temurin' |
In the GitHub Actions workflow: - Update actions/checkout to the latest version - Update actions/setup-java to the latest version (Java 21 already works but is undocumented, the next version it will be thanks to actions/setup-java#538 😀)
Add test and documentation for Oracle JDK 21 support.
There will be more to do when the other distributions support it, but it's the first at the moment.
