The version pin in question would allow any version < 2.0.0 and >= 1.13.0 to be used, so unless you need 2.0.0 or greater, this pin is solid (and, in fact, recommended, to avoid breakage).
FYI, the latest version of java is 1.31.0.
There's no real reason to loosen this actually. As is it required 1.13, but won't bring in 2.0, which is ideal since there isn't a 2.0 yet and we don't know what backwards incompatible changes that version might include.
The current versions of the Java cookbook use a higher minor version number. This allows a newer version to be used.
