Installing oracle-jdk version 17

[ashr123]

hey, can you update the oracle-jdk installation to version 17?

We're currently in the progress of testing openjdk 17 and ensuring that it does not break any of the packages in the Homebrew repo that depend on it. See Homebrew/homebrew-core#85174 for progress/blockers.

So if I understand correctly, when you ensure that openjdk is safe for use, it will also tell you that oracle-jdk 17 is safe for use and you'll update it accordingly?

oracle-jdk is a Cask, so anyone can open a PR to update to v17 in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask. There is no specific person who is assigned to update Casks/Formulae, so the update will depend on whenever a contributor (external or maintainer) has time to open a PR.

This is the same situation for all other JDK distribution Casks, like Zulu, Temurin, and Microsoft.

The update for openjdk Formula is separate from this and does not block you or any other user from opening a PR to update oracle-jdk Cask.

I've looked there, and there isn't an existing issue template for updating an existing cask (only templates for Reproducible Bug Report or Feature Request), what should I do? how can I help the process of updating the oracle-jdk to version 17?
