Can you try installing jdk-openjdk by `pacman -S jdk-openjdk`? This should remove the jre and headless variants.

Thanks Frederik - worked for me.

pacman -S jdk-openjdk
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict. Remove jre-openjdk? [y/N] y
:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk-headless are in conflict. Remove jre-openjdk-headless? [y/N] y

Packages (3) jre-openjdk-21.u35-3 [removal] jre-openjdk-headless-21.u35-3 [removal] jdk-openjdk-21.u35-4

Cheers

ditto - just needed to add doc

pacman -S jdk-openjdk openjdk-doc

may be worth a release note?
Should we close this?

We plan to make a news item for this if required once we tidying up loose ends on the packages.

Why does jdk-openjdk conflict with java-runtime? Multiple packages can provide java-runtime and are installed in different directories. So these packages don't conflict.

21.u35-6 should have less conflicts

The news item on the arch homepage seems to be wrong. It tell users to do "pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk" instead of "pacman -S jdk-openjdk". That triggers an upgrade that aborts with a message about the jre-openjdk and jdk-openjdk.
