      Description

      Getdown can differentiate between os and arch to check for different JRE updates and downloads.
      See (currently commented out) gradle.properties values
      getdown_alt_java8_txt_multi_java_location
      and
      getdown_alt_java11_txt_multi_java_location

      We/I should check whether it can differentiate between macOS intel and Apple silicon/arm to download potentially different JRE for Java 17 and maybe 11). The intel JRE is supported on Apple silicon for foreseeable future.

      We could consider adding linux-aarch64 support, possibly windows-aarch64.
