We’ve merged PR #859 into the main branch to improve the filtering of prerelease versions for JetBrainsRuntime. With this update, only stable releases will be installed by default, unless an EA (Early Access) version is specifically requested.

These changes are now available in actions/setup-java@main and will be included in the next official release.

We’ll proceed to close this issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you for your feedback and support!
