Provide OpenJDK builds by Homebrew

[bartekpacia]

Description:

On my Mac, I like using OpenJDK builds by Homebrew, which can be installed like so:

brew install openjdk

Justification:

It's good to have choice.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

yes, but not in the nearest future as I'm busy :(

Hello @bartekpacia,
Thank you for this feature request. We will investigate it and get back to you as soon as we have some feedback.

@bartekpacia in the mean time, there is oracle's setup-java action that can be used to install the latest openjdk and GA and EA releases directly from the openjdk devs.

Would be nice for setup-java to support this eventually though so we dont have to use two actions to do the same thing.

@ascopes is your comment about Oracle's OpenJDK builds related to Homebrew or unrelated at all?

Unrelated I think, if I remember the context of this!
