[feature] Include external JDK code tools through action options #31

Closed denismakogon closed 2 years ago

As you may know, jextract wouldn't be a part of the JDK distro due to its size (and a few other reasons). I guess setup-java should provide options to provide the JDK with jextract under the $JAVA_HOME/bin path.

This action is about downloading and installing JDK builds, built by Oracle. By supporting jextract, we would expand its scope, and make its maintenance more complex.

Moreover, jextract is not available, today, in a binary form so it would have to be built first. Finally, a native toolchain will also be required most of the time, so the user would have to install additional bits anyway.

Let's revisit this at some point if it ever makes sense, ex. a dedicated "oracle-actions/setup-java-tools" action ?

FYI, https://jdk.java.net/jextract/ now offers EA jextract binaries.

As jextract binaries are distributed as a custom runtime image using the default format produced by jlink, users may now install jextract in their GitHub Actions workflows as follows:

    - uses: oracle-actions/setup-java@v1
      with:
        website: jdk.java.net
        release: jextract
