Hi @diguage,
Thank you for creating this feature request. We will investigate it and provide feedback as soon as we have some updates.

Update / decision: we will not support an lts alias for java-version.

lts is a vendor classification for long-term (often commercial) support, not an alias for "the latest version." Treating it as a resolvable alias is complex and error-prone:

• Which releases count as "LTS" varies by distribution/vendor and changes over time.
• The set of LTS versions shifts as new LTS lines are designated, so a workflow's resolved version could change unexpectedly.
• It conflates a support/lifecycle label with a version selector, which is ambiguous and surprising.

Closing as not planned. Note this is distinct from #832, which proposes a latest alias (newest available version) — that remains open and under consideration on its own merits.
