as we previously agreed this is for JDK 24 (mainline is becoming JDK 24 after 10am PT on Thu June 6) just do not jeopardize  by any kind of risks on stabilization part with all tests run cycle, so good to integrate once it is reviewed and approved after June 6th

WiX v5 for WiX v4 users

WiX v5 is highly compatible with WiX v4. WiX v5 continues in the traditions of WiX v4 and is available as both a .NET tool and an MSBuild SDK. The WiX v5 language uses the same XML namespace as WiX v4 and -- with a couple of exceptions -- is backward compatible with the WiX v4 language. That means that you don't need to translate your WiX v4 projects to use WiX v5.

So this is a good point to make it working with WiX 5 (not just WiX 4)
