Pull Request Overview
This PR adds Java installation capability to the workflow generator to address Gradle 9 compatibility issues with JDK 8. The new installJava option allows workflows to automatically install JDK 17, which is required for Gradle 9.
- Adds
installJavaconfiguration option to the sync.py script that mirrors the existinginstallGofunctionality - Enables Java 17 installation for two autobuild direct tracing workflows that were failing with Gradle 9
- Generates workflow inputs and setup-java action steps when
installJava: "true"is specified

Gradle 9 is now the default version of Gradle on the GHA runners. This seems to cause failures because JDK 8 is the default and Gradle 9 requires JDK 17.
This PR adds a new
installJavaoption to thesync.pyscript which behaves exactly the same asinstallGo, except forsetup-java.I have added
installJava: "true"to the two workflows we have seen fail.Risk assessment
