The README mentions only the Java versions "8, 11, 16, 17, 21". [1]
Can you please explain the rationale for how it is decided to support a certain version or not?
I would additionally request adding support for all Java versions (at least going forward) because "The Tip & Tail Model of Library Development" [2] recommended by OpenJDK would require popular libraries to be able to build and release against the latest versions (as well as using older versions to verify compatibility of older releases).

Supporting more Java version will allow even more maintainers and vendors to be able to use this action for their builds.
