 The `java-version` input supports an exact version or a version range using [SemVer](https://semver.org/) notation. The values below are examples, not an exhaustive list:
 - major versions, such as: `8`, `11`, `16`, `17`, `21`, `25`
 - more specific versions: `8.0.282+8`, `8.0.232`, `11.0`, `11.0.4`, `17.0`
- multi-field Java versions (JEP 322), such as: `11.0.9.1`, `18.0.1.1`
 - early access (EA) versions: `15-ea`, `15.0.0-ea`
- the `latest` alias, which floats to the newest available stable (GA) release
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> - `latest` always resolves the newest version from the distribution's remote metadata (it behaves like `check-latest: true`), so it ignores any older version already present in the runner tool cache. This has the same performance trade-off described in [Check latest](#check-latest).
-> - `latest` is only supported through the `java-version` input, not through `java-version-file`, and it resolves stable (GA) releases only — it cannot be combined with `-ea`.
-> - The `jdkfile` distribution does not support `latest`, as it installs from a local file.
-> - For `oracle` and `graalvm` (Oracle GraalVM), `latest` uses the Adoptium API only to determine the newest GA **major version number** — the JDK binary itself is still downloaded from the Oracle / GraalVM servers for that major. Because these distributions have no endpoint to list their own releases, if their servers haven't published the resolved major yet, the action fails and asks you to specify a concrete version. Note the Oracle JDK license caveat below still applies to a floating `latest`.
-> - For `graalvm-community`, `latest` floats to the newest GA release published on GitHub, so it never depends on the Adoptium API and always resolves to the newest major that GraalVM Community actually ships.

 The workflow output `cache-hit` is set to indicate if an exact match was found for the key [as actions/cache does](https://github.com/actions/cache/tree/main#outputs).

-The workflow output `cache-primary-key` exposes the primary cache key computed by the action for the configured build tool. It is useful for composing with [`actions/cache`](https://github.com/actions/cache) or [`actions/cache/restore`](https://github.com/actions/cache/tree/main/restore) in later steps or dependent jobs that need to reuse the exact same key. It is empty when caching is not enabled or when caching is skipped (for example, when the cache service is unavailable).

 The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.

 **Maven Wrapper:** when `cache: 'maven'` is enabled, the action also caches and restores the Maven Wrapper distribution downloaded to `~/.m2/wrapper/dists` (in addition to the local repository), so wrapper-based (`./mvnw`) builds don't re-download the wrapper on every run. This is keyed on `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties` as shown above.

-## Ensuring the Maven cache is complete (plugin dependencies)
-
-When you enable `cache: maven`, the action caches your local Maven repository
-(`~/.m2/repository`) and downloaded Maven Wrapper distributions
-(`~/.m2/wrapper/dists`). The cache key is a hash of your Maven inputs — every
-`**/pom.xml`, plus `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties` and
-`**/.mvn/extensions.xml` — so changing any of those files (for example bumping
-the wrapper version or editing core extensions) produces a new key and
-invalidates the cache. At the end of the job the action saves whatever was
-downloaded during that run. It does **not** re-save the cache when the key
-already matches (a cache *hit*).
-
-Maven resolves **plugin** dependencies lazily: it only downloads the plugins and
-plugin dependencies required by the goals that actually execute. As a result, the
-run that first creates the cache determines what is stored. If that run executed a
-"thin" goal such as `mvn compile`, plugins bound to later phases are never
-resolved. For example, `maven-shade-plugin` (bound to `package`) pulls in
-`plexus-archiver`, `commons-compress`, `io.airlift:aircompressor` and
-`org.tukaani:xz` — none of which a `compile` run downloads. Those artifacts are
-therefore absent from the cache, and because the action does not re-save on a
-hit, every later `test`/`verify`/`package` job re-downloads them on every run.
-
-### Seed the cache with a resolution step
-
-To populate `~/.m2` as comprehensively as possible on the run that creates the
-cache, run a dependency-resolution "seed" command before your build. Choose a
-command based on how thorough you need it to be:
-
-| Seed command | Resolves plugin dependencies? | Notes |
-|--------------|:-----------------------------:|-------|
-| `mvn dependency:resolve` | No | Resolves project dependencies only — misses plugin dependencies (e.g. `aircompressor`). |
-| `mvn dependency:resolve-plugins` | Yes | Resolves plugins **and their dependencies**. |
-| `mvn dependency:go-offline` | Yes | Resolves project and plugin dependencies (a superset). |
-| `mvn dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins` | Yes (most thorough) | Recommended default. Use `dependency:resolve dependency:resolve-plugins` if `go-offline` is flaky or insufficient for your project. |
-
-Single job — seed, then build (the cache saved at the end of this run contains
-the full set):
-
-```yaml
-steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
-  with:
-    distribution: 'temurin'
-    java-version: '25'
-    cache: 'maven'
- name: Seed the Maven cache
-  run: mvn -B dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins
- name: Build with Maven
-  run: mvn -B verify --file pom.xml
-```
-
-Separate seed job — useful for a matrix where different legs run different goals
-(`test`, `check`, `verify`, `-Pprofile1`, ...) but all share the same `~/.m2`
-cache. Without a seed, whichever job finishes first creates the cache from its
-own partial `.m2`, and parallel jobs race to save an equally partial cache; the
-seed job instead creates one comprehensive cache that every other job reuses:
-
-```yaml
-jobs:
-  seed-cache:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
-    - uses: actions/setup-java@v5
-      with:
-        distribution: 'temurin'
-        java-version: '25'
-        cache: 'maven'
-    - name: Seed the Maven cache
-      run: mvn -B dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins
-
-  build:
-    needs: seed-cache
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    strategy:
-      matrix:
-        goal: ['test', 'verify', 'test -Pprofile1']
-    steps:
-    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
-    - uses: actions/setup-java@v5
-      with:
-        distribution: 'temurin'
-        java-version: '25'
-        cache: 'maven'
-    - name: Build
-      run: mvn -B ${{ matrix.goal }} --file pom.xml
-```
-
-### Caveats
-
- **The seed only helps on the run that creates the cache.** Once a cache exists
-  for the current `pom.xml` hash, later runs get a hit and any additional
-  downloads are not saved. On an existing repository whose cache is already
-  incomplete, invalidate it once (for example by changing `cache-dependency-path`
-  or deleting the repository's caches) so a complete cache is created from the
-  seed.
- **Static resolution is not exhaustive.** `go-offline`/`resolve-plugins` resolve
-  the statically declared plugin set for the *active* profiles and modules.
-  Profile-gated plugins, conditionally-active modules, and artifacts a plugin
-  fetches at execution time may still be missed. For the most complete cache,
-  seed with the fullest goal set your CI actually uses (for example
-  `mvn -B verify` with every profile enabled).
- **Multi-module projects:** run the seed at the reactor root so every module's
-  plugins are resolved.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The same "the cache stores only what the creating run downloaded, and is not
-> re-saved on a hit" behavior applies to `cache: gradle`, since Gradle also
-> resolves dependencies and plugin/buildscript classpaths lazily. Gradle has no
-> direct equivalent of `dependency:go-offline`, so for complete and fine-grained
-> dependency caching on Gradle projects we recommend
-> [`gradle/actions/setup-gradle`](https://github.com/gradle/actions/tree/main/setup-gradle),
-> which provides purpose-built caching (see the
-> [setup-gradle documentation](https://github.com/gradle/actions/blob/main/docs/setup-gradle.md)).
