+This action sets up a java environment for use in actions by:

+

+
+Basic:
+```yaml
+actions:
+- uses: actions/setup-java@latest
+  with:
+    version: 9.0.4 // The JDK version to make available on the path. Use a whole version, such as 9.0.4, not a semver version
+    architecture: x64 // (x64 or x86) - defaults to x64
+- run: java -cp java HelloWorldApp
+```
+
