I will continue to update this issue as new pull requests or issues are created. While discussions should primarily take place on the corresponding issues themselves, feel free to leave a comment here if you believe something relevant

Does #301653 count as a JDK version update automation? Even though JBR is pretty specifically for JetBrains IDEs…

[Infinidoge]

It does. Whether we like it or not, it's a JDK.

#286267 has been split into a number of smaller PRs:

• openjdk{16,18,19,20}, openjfx{20,22}: update #313920 (merged)
• openjdk8: 8u362-ga -> 8u412-ga #313923 (merged)
• openjdk11, openjfx11, corretto11: update #313925 (draft)
• openjdk17, openjfx17, corretto17: update #313927 (open)
• openjdk21, openjfx21: update #313928 (draft)
• mysql-workbench: use latest jre #313929 (merged)
• temurin-bin: init at 22, update sources #314377 (open)
• semeru-bin: init at 21, update sources #314378 (open)
• jdk: misc cleanup #314380 (open)
• jetbrains-jdk: 17.0.11-b1000.8 -> 17.0.11-b1207.24) #314381 (open)

I expect several of these to need to be switched over to staging, but I'm waiting until OfBorg evals them and until I have enough spoons to actually do that. I've already accidentally failed one cross-branch rebase today, I'm not going it again.

Lesson learned, break up PRs as much as possible.

Cross-compilation of openjdk is also wildly broken, as the entire dependencies within javaPackages do not get spliced properly, and several dependencies are added as buildInputs instead of nativeBuildInputs
