I had highlighted it in Changes/ThirdPartyLegacyJdks - Fedora Project Wiki
I am a java developer and I work mainly with oracle applications which require a specific jdk. I rarely use the open jdk’s because often they don’t work. I usually install specfic jdk’s myself and set my paths to accommodate that.
I really don’t see this as being an issue with me specifically unless it hampers my ability to do that. Having a default Open-Jdk is really a moot point in my situation. Would this change the ability to use “alternatives --config java”,?
hi! Nope. The alternatives will remain same. All rpms over world, as far as I know, are honouring the ancient agreement on java/javac masters and set of slaves. Other masters are not that hardly agree, but as far as I know all rpms of all major distributions, including temurins of course, are comaptible.

I use Java 11 to build a server project with system-wide Java 21 for the client, and did this on F41/dnf5:
Add repo:
sudo dnf install 'adoptium-temurin-java-repository'
Enable:
sudo dnf config-manager 'setopt' 'adoptium-temurin-java-repository'.'enabled'='1'
Install Fedora/non-Temurin non-headless Java:
sudo dnf install java-openjdk --setopt='adoptium-temurin-java-repository.enabled=0' --exclude='temurin*'
Java 11:
sudo dnf install 'temurin-11-jdk'
JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-11-jdk'
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-11-jdk/bin/java
I managed to get things hooked up ideally with that project and different Java versions and am fine with the change 
Thanx!
