… Java 26 The 5x3 matrix (15 jobs) queued for hours on the scarce macOS runners while the OS-specific coverage does not depend on the Java version. Keep the full 11/17/21/25/26 sweep on ubuntu and build macOS and Windows once, with the latest Java (7 jobs total). The ubuntu-latest-11 artifact consumed by the docker jobs is unaffected.
Keeps the windows-latest-11 artifact consumed by the MSI test/deploy jobs on the packaging branches, and retains minimum-Java coverage per OS. 9 jobs instead of 15.

The 5 Java x 3 OS matrix (15 jobs per push) spends most of its wall-clock queued for the scarce macOS runners, while the OS-specific parts of the build (native launchers, packaging, platform tests) barely depend on the Java version.
Keep the full Java sweep (11/17/21/25/26) on ubuntu; macOS and Windows build with the minimum supported (11) and the latest (26) Java:
9 jobs instead of 15. Job names keep the same

ubuntu-latest-11artifact consumed bybuild-docker/build-docker-alpineand thewindows-latest-11artifact consumed by the MSI test/deploy jobs on the packaging branches (Add CI install-test for the Windows MSI + document MSI install/upgrade/uninstall #664, Modernize the Windows MSI: WiX v5, x64, service registration, upgrade from 5.1.1 #701) both keep existing - no follow-up changes needed anywhere.
