Jeff,
Given the regular release schedule of Adoptium/Temurin versions, often
fixing security-related issues, baking a particular version into each
release train repository, fixed to the particular version available at
that time, doesn't seem like the best solution to this problem. Note
too that it's highly unlikely the user was just updating 2022-06 but
rather from something much older that was previously updated to 2022-06
because 2022-06 shipped with JustJ 17.0.x.
Having an update site that is automatically added by EPP to each package
and points to the desired current version would seem like a better
solution. I vaguely recall having such discussions but obviously we
didn't conclude that...
There is also a question of which version should a JustJ update site
specify? We could use this one:
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/
But that includes the 18.x release and soon the 19.x release. We
probably don't want people updating to those.
We could also compose this one:
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/17/updates/release/latest
and update to some future LTS version eventually.
Or maybe we should just compose the above into this site which I believe
is already automatically added to all EPP packages:
https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest
That would seem the simplest approach and would address the issue for
existing installations already...
Regards,
Ed

A user recently opened an issue against JDT UI because they were
trying to update their 2022-06 Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and it
fails because the current JustJ they had: 15.0.1 is not sufficient to
update components which now require Java 17.
While they can manually add the needed JustJ updates site would it not
make sense to make a JustJ update available automatically for such
end-users at least in the case where Eclipse increases minimum JVM
requirements?
