Is there any progress on this?
I noticed that even when using for example [1] in a target it downloads
the full java 15 jre (>100mb) what is taking ages (eclipse servers are
currently serving this with 16 to 32kb/s) to resolve target definition now.
Even worse, if one builds for multiple targets justj is downloaded for
each target platform (e.g. linux, mac, windows) wasting a lot of
bandwith, disk space and time...

Greg,
I don't think anyone has figured out why a JRE is automatically installed
during update:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=567504
You can undo this effect just by removing the -vm argument (to end up with the
default) or by changing the -vm argument to the one you want it to use, in your
eclipse.ini.
It's liable to come back if there is an unexpected updated to the JRE in the
future...

My Eclipse installation recently prompted me to upgrade (something new), so I
accepted the advice. Now I’ve discovered that an unknown JRE was downloaded
onto my machine and is being used to run Eclipse. This is broken on so many
levels, I don’t even know where to start opening bug reports.
Since when does Eclipse start installing unauthorized versions of the JRE onto
my machine without any notification, and that overrides my choice of the JRE
(or JDK in my case) for running Eclipse? Not only is there no option to change
or uninstall this, it breaks tools that rely on the JDK (e.g. Spring Boot Live
hovers.)
Does anybody else see the problem here? Someone needs to rethink this kind of
behavior.
In the mean time, does anyone know how to undo this mess, or am I forced to go
back to 2020-06?

Greg
