Support for More JDK Distributions
Minionguyjpro opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mostly not, but it could be for some people. Some people may want to use a custom JDK distribution with custom features, or want a JDK that can perform better (Oracle GraalVM (NOT GRAALVM Enterprise Edition or Community Edition) is known to be able to perform better than Temurin, though they're both good options)
Describe the solution you'd like
Add support to choose from a list of JDKs or use a custom download for a Java URL that's tar.gz and let the panel handle the rest.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually copying a self downloaded JDK over. It works and I made symbolic links, but it's not ideal in case an update of the JDK is needed.
Additional context
N/A
This is where I will point to using Docker to run the servers.
There is a lot of concerns about things like binary naming, how to handle mixing, and so on. Docker is designed to handle this a lot smoother and isn't limited by what we do.

I see, then maybe add support to choose a custom Docker JDK image for the Docker templates?
I consider it an edge case, and one that only advanced would use. You can override the image as an admin, so I don't see why we need to make it a drop down or anything.
