Java 25 Support

[stokpop]

Java 25 just got released, which is the new LTS version.

Can we have a buildpack with Java 25? Would be great to check the performance improvements and the fix for Virtual Thread pinning.

Looks like we first need a release of Java 25 on https://docs.bell-sw.com/liberica-jdk/?
(update: the release is there: https://docs.bell-sw.com/liberica-jdk/25b37/, but in pull request #1122 it seems we need a package in the buildpack distribution repo as well, who can add that?)

It looks like the new Liberica build has been finalized.

Hello team,
I'm interested in helping move this forward. I assume the blocker is the availability of the JDK 25 binaries in the upstream buildpack dependency repo?
I have started looking into this on the java-buildpack-dependency-builder side:

• Issue: Add support for Java 25 java-buildpack-dependency-builder#79
• PR : Add Java 25 support java-buildpack-dependency-builder#80

If i'm not mistaken, once the artifacts are built and published there, we should be able to proceed with merging the support here?

@ramonskie
Can you provide information when Java 25 will be included?
We would love to have this available.
