-## V2 vs V1
-
-Examples in this README use `actions/setup-java@v5`, but the main migration note from V1 still applies to all later major versions (`v2`, `v3`, `v4`, and `v5`):
-
-- Starting with V2, the action supports custom distributions. V1 supports only Azul Zulu OpenJDK.
-- Starting with V2, you must specify distribution along with the version. V1 defaults to Azul Zulu OpenJDK, so only version input is required. Follow [the migration guide](docs/switching-to-v2.md) to switch from V1 to V2.

-For information about the latest releases, recent updates, and newly supported distributions, please refer to the `setup-java` [Releases](https://github.com/actions/setup-java/releases).
