Changing EAP 7.4 rpm to java 17
Issue
-
We've previously installed EAP 7.4 rpms to use java 8 or 11. We now want to run EAP 7.4 with java 17. We've installed java 17 but we can't remove java 8 or 11 packages without it also removing other EAP packages. How can we switch EAP 7.4 RPMs to use java 17 so we can also remove the now unused java packages?

Uninstalling OpenJDk11 before or after completing the migration (to OpenJDK17) process is removing the JBoss EAP standalone server or become non-functional, leading to significant disruptions.
Environment
