Enable Java EA builds and prepare JDK 26

[koppor]

User description

JDK 26 and JavaFX can be build using workflow dispatch -- regular builds still use release versions.

---

Major effort because of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8342623

---

Tests - macOS EA build

• Icon of DMG right
• Icon of .bib files right - if not, we need to create a second jabref-bibtex.icns file with a different name than the application icon and relink in bibtexAssociations.properties.

---

This PR builds on #14057.

This PR tries to enable EA builds - to be able to report back to be able to report earlier to https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/quality/Quality+Outreach.

---

Eclipse Temurin's binaries should soon be available:

WIP, because Temurin is not yet available. AKA blocked by adoptium/temurin#96.

Hopefully, we can go back to Temurin (refs adoptium/adoptium-support#1271 (comment) and #13749

Uses "latest" for the dev container to reduce the places where we need to adapt version numbers.

Refs #13933

Steps to test

Run JabRef 😅

Mandatory checks

• I own the copyright of the code submitted and I license it under the MIT license
• [/] I manually tested my changes in running JabRef (always required)
• [/] I added JUnit tests for changes (if applicable)
• [/] I added screenshots in the PR description (if change is visible to the user)
• [/] I described the change in CHANGELOG.md in a way that is understandable for the average user (if change is visible to the user)
• [] I checked the user documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, I submitted a pull request updating file(s) in https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/tree/main/en.

Enhancement

Description

• Enable Early-Access JDK builds via workflow dispatch inputs

• Add configurable JDK version, branch, and JavaFX version parameters

• Reorganize build job steps for better artifact upload management

• Remove JabSrv-CLI and JabLS-CLI from main build, keep as smoke tests

• Fix JavaFX module configuration for EA JDK compatibility

Requires gradle 9.1

[koppor]

Requires gradle 9.1

Then: Runners to 24; 25 is installed via toolchain 😅

Or wait until we updated our Gradle fork

[koppor]

With #13719, we use the most recent gradle development version

Are no x86 mac builds a show stopper?

[koppor]

seems to be fine for macOS:

  Java configuration:
    Distribution: temurin
    Version: 25.0.0+36.0.LTS
    Path: /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Java_Temurin-Hotspot_jdk/25.0.0-36.0.LTS/x64/Contents/Home

Mhh...

Seems to be the right commit - 0ae6281

Latest enhancement: If GitHub artifact upload is wished - the artifacts are uploaded as soon as they are ready.

[koppor]

JDK27 build also working

[koppor]

Notarization works, too - https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/actions/runs/21310215959

[koppor]

Tested in this branch, will merge to be sure that it works :)
