Description:
Adds a
latestalias forjava-versionthat resolves to the newest available stable release, enabling workflows to test against bleeding-edge Java without pinning a specific major on every release. Scoped tolatestonly (the separateltsrequest is out of scope).src/distributions/base-installer.ts):normalizeVersionmapslatest(case-insensitive) to the SemVer wildcardx, which flows through the existing highest-match selection. This covers all range-matching distributions (Temurin, Zulu, Adopt, Liberica, Semeru, Dragonwell, Kona, SapMachine, JetBrains, Microsoft).src/distributions/corretto/installer.ts): only matches exact majors, so the wildcard is resolved to the newest available major, with a safe fallback to the standard not-found error when no numeric major exists.README.md): documented thelatestalias under supported version syntax.normalizeVersion('latest')variants and Correttolatestresolution.Note: URL-constructing distributions (Oracle, GraalVM) don't enumerate a resolvable latest major, so
latestis unsupported there and surfaces a clear version-not-found error.Check list:
npm run checklocally (format, lint, build, test) and all checks pass.
