Add ~/.gradle/jdks to cache #245
Description
Description:
Convenience: Be able to cache JDKs for projects that uses the built in toolchain support in Gradle.
Having the action configure cache for ~/.gradle/jdks (perhaps under a different cache-key?) in addition to .gradle/caches, .gradle/wrapper and gradle-wrapper.properties would avoid the unnecessary step of:
- name: Setup gradle JDK cache
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: ~/.gradle/jdks
key: gradle-${{ runner.os }}-jdks
Justification:
Many of us have complicated multi-module builds targeting different JDK versions. For this Gradle supports toolchains that manages and downloads JDKs on demand if the required JDK versions are not found on the path. Using cache for JDKs as well is important to reduce built times. Also note that relying on matrix jobs isn't always an option and also not reproductible when doing local development builds.

Hello @alsutton. Sorry for the late response. We'll investigate the issue.

Hello @devminded. We would not like to implement such kind of logic, because the initial caching logic for setup-java should cover the most often use cases. If you want to use some more complex caching logic we would recommend you to use actions/cache. It's relevant to setup-node ADR.
For now I'm closing the issue.
