I'd like to set the java version to be used in the product's page, but this doesn't work.

See attached images, for what I've got so far.

The JRETask sets the JRE to be used during Java development in an installed IDE. That's not what you want. You need to set the 'Required Java Version' attribute in your ProductVersion element to, e.g., "1.8".

If I do so, only the label of the required version gets changed. For instance, if I set it to "1.8" the "Java java11+ VM" changes to "Java 1.8+ VM". But the selection in the combo box stays on the latest selected JRE/JDK (/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31 in the screenshot example).

I want the combobox entry to be preselected to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk".

This is one of the very view things that is not defined via a variable that you can specialize. The value comes directly from the wizard page, and the choices in the page's combo box are computed based on the available JDK/JRE installations on the machine. The user always has the choice from among the JDKs/JREs on their machine (and of course generally each user has different ones in different locations). If you want your user to use Java 11 (why an unsupported outdated version?), you can set the 1.8 to 11.0. Note that Java changed the number schema so that 1.9 became 9.0 instead. Assuming your users all have one version of Java 11 installed, they should all end up using that version.
