Removing OpenJDK 17 removes Tomcat and ecj in RHEL 9 when migrating to OpenJDK 21

Issue

When attempting to uninstall java-17-openjdk and java-17-openjdk-headless after installing java-21-openjdk on RHEL 9, tomcat, tomcat-lib, and ecj packages are automatically selected for removal due to dependency resolution:

[root@localhost ~]# dnf remove java-17-openjdk java-17-openjdk-devel java-17-openjdk-headless
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Dependencies resolved.
