chore(deps): bump @actions/cache to 6.2.0 (#1128 )

* chore(deps): bump @actions/cache to 6.2.0 Bump @actions/cache from ^6.1.0 to ^6.2.0 and rebuild the vendored dist/ bundles. 6.2.0 honors ACTIONS_CACHE_MODE to skip restore/save when the effective cache-mode disallows it, and surfaces a core.warning (instead of failing the run) when the cache service denies a read/write due to token scopes.

License text, summary, and homepage are unchanged; only the version field was stale, which failed the "Check licenses" CI job.

However, this now requires `maven-gpg-plugin` **3.2.0 or newer**; older versions do not honor `gpg.passphraseEnvName` and, because the `gpg.passphrase` server is no longer written, will not pick up the passphrase. Upgrade the plugin to 3.2.0+.

+> - `latest` is only supported through the `java-version` input, not through `java-version-file`, and it resolves stable (GA) releases only — it cannot be combined with `-ea`.
+> - The `jdkfile` distribution does not support `latest`, as it installs from a local file.
+> - For `oracle` and `graalvm` (Oracle GraalVM), `latest` uses the Adoptium API only to determine the newest GA **major version number** — the JDK binary itself is still downloaded from the Oracle / GraalVM servers for that major. Because these distributions have no endpoint to list their own releases, if their servers haven't published the resolved major yet, the action fails and asks you to specify a concrete version. Note the Oracle JDK license caveat below still applies to a floating `latest`.

+## Ensuring the Maven cache is complete (plugin dependencies)
+
+When you enable `cache: maven`, the action caches your local Maven repository
+(`~/.m2/repository`). The cache key is a hash of your Maven inputs — every
+`**/pom.xml`, plus `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties` and
+`**/.mvn/extensions.xml` — so changing any of those files (for example bumping
+the wrapper version or editing core extensions) produces a new key and
+invalidates the cache. At the end of the job the action saves whatever was
+downloaded during that run. It does **not** re-save the cache when the key
+already matches (a cache *hit*).
+
+Downloaded Maven Wrapper distributions (`~/.m2/wrapper/dists`) are cached in a
+**separate** cache entry keyed only on `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties`.
+Because the wrapper distribution changes far less often than your `pom.xml`
+files, this keeps it available across the frequent dependency changes that
+rotate the main cache key, so wrapper-based (`./mvnw`) builds don't re-download
+the Maven distribution on every dependency change. See
+[issue #1095](https://github.com/actions/setup-java/issues/1095).
+
+Maven resolves **plugin** dependencies lazily: it only downloads the plugins and
+plugin dependencies required by the goals that actually execute. As a result, the
+run that first creates the cache determines what is stored. If that run executed a
+"thin" goal such as `mvn compile`, plugins bound to later phases are never
+resolved. For example, `maven-shade-plugin` (bound to `package`) pulls in
+`plexus-archiver`, `commons-compress`, `io.airlift:aircompressor` and
+`org.tukaani:xz` — none of which a `compile` run downloads. Those artifacts are
+therefore absent from the cache, and because the action does not re-save on a
+hit, every later `test`/`verify`/`package` job re-downloads them on every run.
+
+### Seed the cache with a resolution step
+
+To populate `~/.m2` as comprehensively as possible on the run that creates the
+cache, run a dependency-resolution "seed" command before your build. Choose a
+command based on how thorough you need it to be:
+
+| Seed command | Resolves plugin dependencies? | Notes |
+|--------------|:-----------------------------:|-------|
+| `mvn dependency:resolve` | No | Resolves project dependencies only — misses plugin dependencies (e.g. `aircompressor`). |
+| `mvn dependency:resolve-plugins` | Yes | Resolves plugins **and their dependencies**. |
+| `mvn dependency:go-offline` | Yes | Resolves project and plugin dependencies (a superset). |
+| `mvn dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins` | Yes (most thorough) | Recommended default. Use `dependency:resolve dependency:resolve-plugins` if `go-offline` is flaky or insufficient for your project. |
+
+Single job — seed, then build (the cache saved at the end of this run contains
+the full set):
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v6
+- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
+  with:
+    distribution: 'temurin'
+    java-version: '25'
+    cache: 'maven'
+- name: Seed the Maven cache
+  run: mvn -B dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins
+- name: Build with Maven
+  run: mvn -B verify --file pom.xml
+```
+
+Separate seed job — useful for a matrix where different legs run different goals
+(`test`, `check`, `verify`, `-Pprofile1`, ...) but all share the same `~/.m2`
+cache. Without a seed, whichever job finishes first creates the cache from its
+own partial `.m2`, and parallel jobs race to save an equally partial cache; the
+seed job instead creates one comprehensive cache that every other job reuses:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  seed-cache:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+    - uses: actions/setup-java@v5
+      with:
+        distribution: 'temurin'
+        java-version: '25'
+        cache: 'maven'
+    - name: Seed the Maven cache
+      run: mvn -B dependency:go-offline dependency:resolve-plugins
+
+  build:
+    needs: seed-cache
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        goal: ['test', 'verify', 'test -Pprofile1']
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+    - uses: actions/setup-java@v5
+      with:
+        distribution: 'temurin'
+        java-version: '25'
+        cache: 'maven'
+    - name: Build
+      run: mvn -B ${{ matrix.goal }} --file pom.xml
+```
+
+### Caveats
+
+- **The seed only helps on the run that creates the cache.** Once a cache exists
+  for the current `pom.xml` hash, later runs get a hit and any additional
+  downloads are not saved. On an existing repository whose cache is already
+  incomplete, invalidate it once (for example by changing `cache-dependency-path`
+  or deleting the repository's caches) so a complete cache is created from the
+  seed.
+- **Static resolution is not exhaustive.** `go-offline`/`resolve-plugins` resolve
+  the statically declared plugin set for the *active* profiles and modules.
+  Profile-gated plugins, conditionally-active modules, and artifacts a plugin
+  fetches at execution time may still be missed. For the most complete cache,
+  seed with the fullest goal set your CI actually uses (for example
+  `mvn -B verify` with every profile enabled).
+- **Multi-module projects:** run the seed at the reactor root so every module's
+  plugins are resolved.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The same "the cache stores only what the creating run downloaded, and is not
+> re-saved on a hit" behavior applies to `cache: gradle`, since Gradle also
+> resolves dependencies and plugin/buildscript classpaths lazily. Gradle has no
+> direct equivalent of `dependency:go-offline`, so for complete and fine-grained
+> dependency caching on Gradle projects we recommend
+> [`gradle/actions/setup-gradle`](https://github.com/gradle/actions/tree/main/setup-gradle),
+> which provides purpose-built caching (see the
+> [setup-gradle documentation](https://github.com/gradle/actions/blob/main/docs/setup-gradle.md)).

+### GPG

-The Maven GPG Plugin configuration in the pom.xml file should contain the following structure to avoid possible issues like `Inappropriate ioctl for device` or `gpg: signing failed: No such file or directory`:
+The example above uses the [Maven GPG Plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/)'s Bouncy Castle signer (`-Dgpg.signer=bc`, available since `maven-gpg-plugin` 3.2.0). It is a pure-Java signer that reads the key directly from the `MAVEN_GPG_KEY` environment variable, so it does **not** require the `gpg` executable, importing the key into a GPG keychain, or the `--pinentry-mode loopback` workaround in your `pom.xml`. The key must be an ASCII-armored secret key (transferable secret key format).
+

+
+#### Legacy / alternative: let setup-java import the key
+
+If you prefer signing with the `gpg` executable (for example because you are using `maven-gpg-plugin` older than 3.2.0), you can let setup-java import the key instead by providing the `gpg-private-key` and `gpg-passphrase` inputs. The private key is written to a file in the runner's temp directory, imported into the GPG keychain, and the file is promptly removed before proceeding with the rest of the setup process. A cleanup step removes the imported private key from the GPG keychain after the job completes regardless of the job status. This ensures that the private key is no longer accessible on self-hosted runners and cannot "leak" between jobs (hosted runners are always clean instances).

+setup-java imports the key independently of the plugin version, but the generated passphrase profile described below uses `gpg.passphraseEnvName`, which requires `maven-gpg-plugin` 3.2.0 or newer. Since `gpg-passphrase` defaults to `GPG_PASSPHRASE`, setup-java writes that profile unless you override the input to `MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE`.

+        MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_CENTRAL_TOKEN }}
+        MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
+```
+
+The `gpg-passphrase` input is the **name of the environment variable** that holds the passphrase (not the passphrase itself). It defaults to `GPG_PASSPHRASE`. The [Maven GPG Plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/) reads the passphrase from the environment variable named by its `gpg.passphraseEnvName` property, whose own default is `MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE`.
+
+- If `gpg-passphrase` is `MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE`, the plugin already reads that variable by default, so setup-java writes nothing extra to `settings.xml`.
+- Otherwise (including the default `GPG_PASSPHRASE`), setup-java configures `gpg.passphraseEnvName` through an active profile in the generated `settings.xml` so the plugin reads the passphrase from that variable. For the default `gpg-passphrase: GPG_PASSPHRASE`:
+
+```xml
+    <profiles>
+      <profile>
+        <id>setup-java-gpg</id>
+        <properties>
+          <gpg.passphraseEnvName>GPG_PASSPHRASE</gpg.passphraseEnvName>
+        </properties>
+      </profile>
+    </profiles>
+    <activeProfiles>
+      <activeProfile>setup-java-gpg</activeProfile>
+    </activeProfiles>
+```
+
+> **Note:** Earlier versions of setup-java wrote a `gpg.passphrase` server to `settings.xml`. That mechanism is deprecated by the Maven GPG Plugin and fails when its `bestPractices` mode is enabled, so setup-java now relies on `gpg.passphraseEnvName` instead. The `gpg-passphrase` input and its `GPG_PASSPHRASE` default are unchanged, so existing workflows that set the `GPG_PASSPHRASE` environment variable keep working.
+
+> **Compatibility note:** Reading the passphrase from an environment variable (`gpg.passphraseEnvName`) requires `maven-gpg-plugin` 3.2.0 or newer. Older versions do not honor this property and will not pick up the passphrase, because setup-java no longer writes the deprecated `gpg.passphrase` server to `settings.xml`. If you are pinned to `maven-gpg-plugin` older than 3.2.0, upgrade to 3.2.0+.

 ### Installing Multiple JDKs With Toolchains
 Subsequent calls to `setup-java` with distinct distribution and version parameters will continue to extend the toolchains declaration and make all specified Java versions available.

+Toolchain entries are always merged non-destructively: existing JDK, custom, and user-managed toolchains are preserved, and only an entry with the exact same `type` and `provides.id` is replaced. This behavior is independent of the `overwrite-settings` input, which only controls regeneration of `settings.xml`. As a result, running `setup-java` several times in the same job (for example in multiple steps or with multiple `java-version` values) accumulates every JDK in `toolchains.xml` instead of dropping previously registered entries.
