Add set-default option
This option allows to install an additional JDK without making it the default one. I have wanted this for quite a long time as I'm running custom GitHub Actions with Java, which might require a specific JDK and I don't want to pollute the JDK that is used by the overall workflow calling the action. And I'm apparently not alone as there was a preexisting issue. Fixes #560

## Installing JDK without setting as default
|
||||
|
||||
When installing multiple JDKs, the last one installed becomes the default (`JAVA_HOME`, `PATH`). Use the `set-default` option to install a JDK without overriding the default. The installed JDK is still discoverable via the `JAVA_HOME_<major>_<arch>` environment variable (e.g. `JAVA_HOME_21_X64`).
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
|
||||
with:
|
||||
distribution: 'temurin'
|
||||
java-version: '17'
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
|
||||
id: setup-java-21
|
||||
with:
|
||||
distribution: 'temurin'
|
||||
java-version: '21'
|
||||
set-default: false
|
||||
- run: |
|
||||
echo "Default java:"
|
||||
java -version
|
||||
echo "Java 21 home: $JAVA_HOME_21_X64"
|
||||
echo "Java 21 path from output: ${{ steps.setup-java-21.outputs.path }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, `JAVA_HOME` and `java` on `PATH` point to Java 17, while Java 21 is available via `JAVA_HOME_21_X64` or the step output `path`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing Java from local file
|
||||
If your use-case requires a custom distribution or a version that is not provided by setup-java, you can download it manually and setup-java will take care of the installation and caching on the VM:
