> I also test installing Eierlegende Wollmilchsau for 2022-06 with a Java
11 JDK installed on my machine (not a JustJ one) and updating it to 2022-09
with https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/17/updates/release/latest
visible/available.
That too installed a.jre.org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.

I did a similar test - but ended up with different(?) results, and more
importantly I ended up with a non-working IDE.

This is what I did:
1- System java is Java11
2- Install C/C++ using Oomph + system Java
3- In newly launched IDE add
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/17/updates/release/latest/ to
software sites
4- Check for updates
5- Everything seems to install fine, including things requiring Java 17
(TM4E)
6- Restart IDE, my error log now full of framework errors like this
(shortened for brevity, let me know if you need full log):

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module:
org.eclipse.tm4e.ui [761]
  Unresolved requirement: Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter:="(&(osgi.ee
=JavaSE)(version=17))"

That is because I am still using Java 11, but Eclipse (with JustJ update
site) allowed me to install items requiring Java 17.

I can get the same error as above like this:
1- System java is Java11
2- unzip/untar eclipse-platform 4.25 and launch
3- In Install New Software, choose "Wild web developer"
4- Wizard will fail due to insufficient Java version
5- Close wizard and add
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/17/updates/release/latest/ to
software sites
6- In Install New Software, choose "Wild web developer"
7- Everything seems to install fine, including things requiring Java 17
(TM4E)
8- Restart IDE, my error log now full of framework errors like the above.

I tried some other combinations of things, but overall simply adding the
URL seems unsatisfactory if the user isn't using JustJ already. If JustJ
was in use, it seems to do a perfectly fine job (on the one test I did)

BTW - you may be asking how the IDE was even able to launch with the wrong
Java version, I think it is because the eclipse.ini gets updated to look
like this (shortened for brevity again):

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=17
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=11

So with the old osgi.requiredJavaVersion left in the file, the launching
steps don't warn the user as to what may be wrong. Ironically, if the
eclipse.ini update had worked, then the user would have an unlaunchable IDE
instead, until they updated to Java 17.

Are you able to reproduce my above issues? If not, I can try again to make
sure I haven't done anything unexpected.
