> "java.base build missing" is a bit confusing as it suggests that java.base is missing when it trying to say that the release resource is missing. Have you tried creating a separate resource/message for this case?

@jerboaa suggested the same thing, I updated the message from "missing" to "". With latest update the message is,


Error: jlink build N/A-26-internal-adhoc.hjen.JDK-8347831-2026-03-17 does not match target java.base build 


Let's use @jerboaa comment thread above to solve this message issue.
