Select JVM via a configuration [message #1849948]

Is it possible to select a Java version from the available options in the installer via a configuration?
In particular, I want to select exactly the justj Java 11 that is listed in the Java 11+ VM dropdown in the installer.
Do I need a JRE task for that? I tried it, but I can't figure out what exactly the three options for VM install type mean.

Thanks in advance for any hints how to solve this.

Good question. No, I don't see a way to do that but I can see that this could be convenient to provide more guidance. And no, a JRE task is unrelated. These things are represented as p2 tasks in this resource:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/org.eclipse.jres.setup

In org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.wizards.SetupWizard.IndexLoader.indexLoaded(Index) it looks for the annotation that marks the reference to this resource's contents and converts them to descriptors like what we had before for the JREs/JDKs on the machine that are used to populate the dropdown. Nothing current would help pick a specific one. We'd have to invent something...
