To stay on the free NFTC license, use `distribution: 'oracle'` with `java-version: '17.0.12'` (or earlier) instead of the floating `'17'`. Alternatively, upgrade to Oracle JDK 21+, which remains under the NFTC license.

The format of the used cache key is `setup-java-${{ platform }}-${{ packageManager }}-${{ fileHash }}`, where the hash is based on the following files:
