Please don't. This was specifically designed not to rely on PATH for any
java stuff but to use non-conflicting *-base-* packages and JAVA_HOME
instead. 

This change is the reason java-xalan failed today.

If there is an issue with some package I'm even willing to help with
packaging rather then going back to "BuildRequires: jdk" and packages
having all sorts of kinky ClassDataVersion because one time jdk11 was
required for libreoffice and another time jdk23 for eclipse-jdt.
