- Extracting and caching custom version of Java from a local file
- Configuring runner for publishing using Apache Maven
- Configuring runner for publishing using Gradle
- Configuring runner for using GPG private key
- Registering problem matchers for error output
- Caching dependencies managed by Apache Maven
- Caching dependencies managed by Gradle
- Caching dependencies managed by sbt
- [Maven Toolchains declaration](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html) for specified JDK versions

## V2 vs V1

- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Azul Zulu OpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin and AdoptOpenJDK out of the box. V1 supports only Azul Zulu OpenJDK
- V2 requires you to specify distribution along with the version. V1 defaults to Azul Zulu OpenJDK, only version input is required. Follow [the migration guide](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2

#### Maven options
The action has a bunch of inputs to generate maven's [settings.xml](https://maven.apache.org/settings.html) on the fly and pass the values to Apache Maven GPG Plugin as well as Apache Maven Toolchains. See [advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md) for more.

If `check-latest` is set to `true`, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, the latest version of Java will be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` if you want the most up-to-date version of Java to always be used. Setting `check-latest` to `true` has performance implications as downloading versions of Java is slower than using cached versions.

For Java distributions that are not cached on Hosted images, `check-latest` always behaves as `true` and downloads Java on-flight. Check out [Hosted Tool Cache](docs/advanced-usage.md#Hosted-Tool-Cache) for more details about pre-cached Java versions.
