<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
