Support Semeru distribution #279
Description
Description:
Support Semeru (IBM) Java distribution. It would allow testing Java with IBM JIT.
The suggested flow:
a) distribution: 'semeru'
b) or even treat distribution: 'adopt-openj9' as an alias to semeru (and print a warning to encourage users to migrate to semeru)
Justification:
Adopt-OpenJ9 has been deprecated, and Temurin does not ship distributions with OpenJ9 JIT.
The suggestion is to use https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/ instead of Adopt-OpenJ9
Are you willing to submit a PR?
I might submit a PR, however, I would like to know if such a PR is desirable at all.

Big +1. I think Alex closed his issue too early (#239 (comment)).

Hello @vlsi. Thank you for your report. We have no objections to add this functionality. We'll appreciate if you submit a pull request.

@dmitry-shibanov I'd say you inadvertently removed the
adopt-openj9distribution by not updating its name.You did the same with the
adopt/adopt-hotspottotemurintransition. I do not understand why you would not handle theadopt-openj9tosemerutransition in a similar way and now see this as a feature request. For me this is a BIG regression instead, because out of nowhere my distribution does not get updates anymore, whereas the other distribution DOES get updates -- both without any announcements.Kindly continue support both alike instead of asking for PRs -- that would be much more user-friendly. Thanks :)
