** Description changed:

  [Why It is necessary]
  VisualVM 2.1.6 is not compatible with Java 21:
  
  Installing VisualVM via the apt on noble beta automatically installs
  java 21, but the packaged version of VisualVM (2.1.6) only supports Java
  20 and below. When you try to launch it, you get a pop up message
  stating:
  
  "You are running VisualVM using an unsupported Java version: 21.
  
  Please use JDK 8 to JDK20 to run VisualVM. For more information about
  requirements and setup visit https://visualvm.github.io.";
  
  We need to upgrade to visualvm 2.1.8 to include support for Java 21
  (default JDK) and Java 22 (shipped with Noble).

  Current version (2.1.6) can not be run by default-jdk.
  
  New release may introduce regressions when ran with previous versions of

  [Original Description]
  Installing VisualVM via the apt on noble beta automatically installs java 21, 
but the packaged version of VisualVM (2.1.6) only supports Java 20 and below. 
When you try to launch it, you get a pop up message stating:
  
  "You are running VisualVM using an unsupported Java version: 21.
  
  Please use JDK 8 to JDK20 to run VisualVM. For more information about
  requirements and setup visit https://visualvm.github.io.";
  
  From that website, I see that version 2.1.7 is required for Java 21
  support (and a newer 2.1.8 release adds Java 22 support).
