I removed `product-bundles test-bundles` as suggested. Thanks.
With your other suggestion to add `build-linux-x64` to the `needs` list for
`test-linux-x64-static`, I didn't have to change to use the boot JDK for
compiling the test java sources, since we download the bundles from the
`build-linux-x64` as well and have a regular JDK. `JDK_FOR_COMPILE` is still
set to `${{ steps.bundles.outputs.jdk-path }}`. That's actually better than
using the boot JDK for `JDK_FOR_COMPILE`, since tests may use tools from the
`-Dcompile.jdk` specified path. The boot JDK is not built from the current
source, and using tools from the boot JDK may cause unexpected results.
