Switch to different JDK build in gemnasium-maven
Problem to solve
Using adoptopenjdk
builds in gemnasium-maven
prevents us from using early access builds of Java (e.g. Java 21). This ties us to the Java release schedule, preventing us from doing preparatory work to support new versions of Java. A related merge request works around this by adding Java 21 as a special case.
Proposal
Switch to an alternative build (e.g. Azul Zulu), replacing adoptopenjdk
and the make installation process more uniform.
Considerations
Switching to a build that provides all versions of Java we support would be desirable. It must also be compliant with GitLab's analyzer licensing.
