Actions/setup-java 6.1.0 Adds Linux RISC-V Support and Improves Version Matching

The latest release of the GitHub Actions setup-java tool introduces support for Linux RISC-V architecture alongside refinements to version matching and security cleanup processes.

Actions/setup-java version 6.1.0 is now available.

This release brings support for Eclipse Temurin on the Linux RISC-V architecture. You get expanded compatibility for different hardware environments.

Version matching logic now gives you more accurate results during Java version selection. The update also changes how Maven handles server credential origins and plugin repositories, which affects configuration for projects using specific artifact management setups.

Fixes for GPG cleanup processes are included. These adjustments handle cryptographic keys during build steps. You can adopt these changes by updating your workflow definitions to point to v6.1.0.
