I am experimenting with Fogejo Actions workflows on my self-hosted runner. I'm trying to get a Java application build automated, and I'm struggling with the second step:

 - uses: https://github.com/actions/setup-java/setup-java@v4
 with:
 java-version: '21'
 distribution: 'temurin'

The error message I'm seeing in the workflow log is

or, splitting the error message by line breaks

I believe the file in question is actually present at action.yml - so what else could be going wrong here?

@Gusted ...yes, thank you, I'll do that... once I'm done bashing my head against the nearest wall. That was kinda embarassing.
