How do I offer to install JustJ/Temurin in installer?

[fedejeanne]

Hello everyone,

I am managing our in-house Oomph installer and I would like to offer our developers the chance to install the Adoptium's Temurin JDK, just like the official Oomph installer does:

I wasn't able to understand how to do it with the instructions under https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/21/updates/release/latest/.

Thank you in advance for your help.

There's this annotation on the index:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<base:Annotation
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:base="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/base/1.0"
    source="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/JRE">
  <reference
      href="org.eclipse.jres.setup#/"/>
</base:Annotation>

That helps the installer find the declarative details needed in the installer.

Thank you, I added this:

_(the code)_
<annotation
      source="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/JRE">
  <reference
	href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-oomph/oomph/refs/heads/master/setups/org.eclipse.jres.setup#/" />
</annotation>

... and I can now see these:

mission accomplished, thank you Ed!

The cherry on top (Bonus questions)

Would it be possible to also:

1. Select one of the "official" JREs by default e.g. JRE 21.0.6
   

2. Filter out some of the newest JRE's without having to maintain my own local copy of the file org.eclipse.jres.setup ? I know that I can filter out the older Java versions by setting the requiredJavaVersion like this:

<version
        name="Latest"
        label=""
        requiredJavaVersion="17"/>

But that lets me also choose JRE 23.0.2, which I'd like to avoid.

No, there are no constraints that specify an upper bound. You might control the content yourself:

This resource is generated, but note that the label 21.0.6 is just a convenience because the actual update site is a moving target that always points at the latest, so you might copy this resource and just change the label to Java 21...
