Research direction

Start by running nix flake init -t github:typelevel/typelevel-nix#application and entering the generated dev shell to reproduce the OpenJDK 23 error. Inspect the application template for the JDK 23 reference, update it to the supported JDK version, and verify that the generated shell initializes successfully.

Description

After initializing a new flake with

nix flake init -t github:typelevel/typelevel-nix#application

and attempting to enter the dev shell, Nix gives an error saying that error: OpenJDK 23 was removed as it has reached its end of life. The latest available seems to be jdk25, maybe one should switch to that in the template?
