@vpa1977 could you please help understand the java errors in these tests: https://github.com/canonical/chisel-releases/actions/runs/11915704026/job/33206594753?pr=392

I can't reproduce them locally. I just copied them from 24.04.

It looks like spread is reusing the vms?

We should not have java 17 process, but yet it is present. The tests expect the same/lower version Java to be installed.

@vpa1977 indeed since this PR is running many tests in parallel, multiple versions of java get installed at the same time and may clash.

I've adjusted the java tests in order to reduce the changes of such clashes by:

• cleaning up after the task execution
• enforcing the use of the right java alternative at test time

There is a typo/not critical thing in Java 17 tests - it uses Java 11 on the host, hence the test failure. We can either bump host to 17 or use 11 update-alternatives.

thanks for pointing that out @vpa1977
