The PR tester job (docs are here) is somewhat neglected and hasn't had some updates for a while so now feels like a good time to look at a bit of a retrospective/overhaul. As a discussion starter some specific issues I note are:
It includes JDK20 which is out of support
It does not include the head stream (and possibly one release from a branch in the jdk repository to trap issues with the new branching process upstream)
It should possible include JDK8/arm32 which is "unusual" in coming from a separate codebase.
Maybe include AIX as well for some versions?
Could we encourage its use for testing things in temurin-build too, particularly if it is modified to include some of the additional platforms not covered by the existing github actions checks?
It is generating unnecessary warnings in the jenkins logs. I believe the jobs should be generated automatically at the start of each run so that theoretically shouldn't be a problem.
We should use this as an opportunity to see if there are specific scenarios/platforms that it would be useful to include in the PR tester to find any problems that we see, so perhaps a brainstorming session is in order. Perhaps JDK8 should include arm32 and Solaris, and potentially other versions can include AIX as additional checks.
