Hello Jiri,
I am not a packager for Fedora, but I am a user (of Fedora) who develops in Java at times. I assume you are referring to a replacement for alternatives (which doesn't work on Silverblue or Fedora CoreOS). The ability to switch between different JDK versions is a must for anyone doing Java programming for different organizations. So anything to make that a smoother operating workflow IMHO is welcome.

Hi! I had risen this topic during jdk11 bump. but it somehow get lost. The idea is, to provide rpm macros, keeping the default source/target eventually - for jdk11 and up -the release - numbers for javac to use. Then to provide tooling, which will help packagers to use them - for ant and maven it should be simple. For others, probably nothing to do on our side, each packager will be able to patch/sed theirs builds as necessary (Still it will help a lot for future). I do not know how to provide them as default (except hardcoding in xmvn, and only allow to disable them on demand). This will smooth the bump to jdk17 in f36 really a lot. Thoughts?
