Issues with 'vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS' and jcef

[shalom938]

What happened?

if 'vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS' is configured for java toolchain or kotlin toolchain and launching Idea 2022.3.3 with runIde there is a jcef error

I understand that runIde will prefer the JBR from java toolchain if the vendor is JetBrains. this may cause issues when launching 2022.3.3.
the default bundled runtime for 2022.3.3 is 17.0.6+1-b653.34.
if the java toolchain is configured with vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS it will download 17.0.10+1-b1087.17 , and runIde will use this runtime to run the IDE.
but when 2022.3.3 is run with 17.0.10+1-b1087.17 there is a jcef error , IMO because there are changes in jcef code between 17.0.6 to 17.0.10.
so if i want to configure 'vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS' it forces me to set jbrVersion = "17.0.6b653.34" when launching 2022.3.3.

I'm not an expert but I wonder why even use the JBR from java toolchain to launch the IDE ? why not always prefer the bundled JBR unless explicitly configured otherwise with jbrVersion or ideDir ?

another issue will be if languageVersion=17 and vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS and launching 2024.1 runIde will launch 2024.1 with JBR 17 while the bundled JBR is 21 and 2024.1 should run with 21.

so i wonder why should I even configure vendor = JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS , what is the benefit of building with JBR compared to just any jdk vendor ? I think it will cause issues as above in the future.
