[EXTERNAL] Re: GitHub workflows using setup-java action instead of hardcoded URLs

[George Adams]

Hu Alan,

By using the setup-java action with release set to a major version (e.g 18) it will always pull the latest GA build of OpenJDK for that version. E.g 18 currently sets up jdk-18.0.1+10 in the GitHub actions environment. The point is that by switching to using a setup-java action it would be one fewer task to complete after each GA tag is released.

H David,


The key difference is that we wouldn’t nee to keep updating the full version number/checksum. We could ofcourse use the oracle-actions/setup-java<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Foracle-actions%2Fsetup-java&data=05%7C01%7CGeorge.Adams%40microsoft.com%7Cf096e37ac54c4d7c4ecd08da63e92a2c%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637932150365490360%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nLLnIsWQy1umcQcYoC%2BD8baKabLXu7ZQVeJH0U3ujQE%3D&reserved=0> and do something like this:



  - name: 'Set up latest Oracle JDK 18'
    uses: oracle-actions/setup-java at v1
    with:
      website: oracle.com
      release: 18

I’m more than happy to leave the codebase as it is but I don’t like the way that we have to keep updating the version number/checksum.

Bumping the version of the boot JDK is something that happens during every release, usually soon after the GA of the previous release. I don't think you can avoid that.
