- Caching dependencies managed by Gradle
## V2 vs V1
- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Zulu OpenJDK, Adopt OpenJDK and Eclipse Temurin out of the box. V1 supports only Zulu OpenJDK
- V2 supports custom distributions and provides support for Zulu OpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin and Adopt OpenJDK out of the box. V1 supports only Zulu OpenJDK
- V2 requires you to specify distribution along with the version. V1 defaults to Zulu OpenJDK, only version input is required. Follow [the migration guide](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2
## Usage
Inputs `java-version` and `distribution` are mandatory. See [Supported distributions](#supported-distributions) section for a list of available options.
### Basic
**Adopt OpenJDK**
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'adopt' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
java-version: '11'
- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp

#### Supported version syntax
The `java-version` input supports an exact version or a version range using [SemVer](https://semver.org/) notation:
- major versions: `8`, `11`, `15`
- major versions: `8`, `11`, `16`
- more specific versions: `11.0`, `11.0.4`, `8.0.232`, `8.0.282+8`
- early access (EA) versions: `15-ea`, `15.0.0-ea`, `15.0.0-ea.2`, `15.0.0+2-ea`
#### Supported distributions
Currently, the following distributions are supported:
| Keyword | Distribution | Official site | License |
| Keyword | Distribution | Official site | License
|-|-|-|-|
| `zulu` | Zulu OpenJDK | [Link](https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?package=jdk) | [Link](https://www.azul.com/products/zulu-and-zulu-enterprise/zulu-terms-of-use/) |
| `adopt` or `adopt-hotspot` | Adopt OpenJDK Hotspot | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html)
| `adopt-openj9` | Adopt OpenJDK OpenJ9 | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html)
| `temurin` | Eclipse Temurin | [Link](https://adoptium.net/) | [Link](https://adoptium.net/about.html)
| `zulu` | Zulu OpenJDK | [Link](https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?package=jdk) | [Link](https://www.azul.com/products/zulu-and-zulu-enterprise/zulu-terms-of-use/) |

| `adopt-openj9` | Adopt OpenJDK OpenJ9 | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) | [Link](https://adoptopenjdk.net/about.html)
**NOTE:** The different distributors can provide discrepant list of available versions / supported configurations. Please refer to the official documentation to see the list of supported versions.
#### Supported cache types
Currently, `gradle` and `maven` are supported. You can set `cache` input like below:
**NOTE:** Adopt OpenJDK got moved to Eclipse Temurin and won't be updated anymore. It is highly recommended to migrate workflows from `adopt` to `temurin` to keep receiving software and security updates. See more details in the [Good-bye AdoptOpenJDK post](https://blog.adoptopenjdk.net/2021/08/goodbye-adoptopenjdk-hello-adoptium/).
### Caching packages dependencies
The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) under hood for caching dependencies but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are gradle and maven. The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
#### Caching gradle dependencies
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'adopt'
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '11'
cache: 'gradle' # will restore cache of dependencies and wrappers
cache: 'gradle'
- run: ./gradlew build
```
#### Caching maven dependencies
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-java@v2
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '11'
cache: 'maven'
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
```
### Check latest
In the basic examples above, the `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. When set to `false`, the action tries to first resolve a version of Java from the local tool cache on the runner. If unable to find a specific version in the cache, the action will download a version of Java. Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer a faster more consistent setup experience that prioritizes trying to use the cached versions at the expense of newer versions sometimes being available for download.
