Changelog

New JBang release with a bunch of quality of life improvements.

Graphical UI when needed to confirm trust

To simplify install/setup running in a environment where there is no terminal to ask for input, i.e. if using curl for install
we now show a graphical dialog when needing to confirm trusted URLs or choosing an editor. This was not
an easy decision but it enables to have just one command install, like: curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app install quarkus@quarkusio

Note: this will only show up if needed and AWT/Swing is available, if not the text based info is used instead.

Edit knowing about common editors

When using jbang edit by default we offered to install and run vscodium - now we also scan PATH for common IDE's like eclipse, code, idea` etc. Giving you a choice to use your already installed IDE more easily.

Setting JDK Release

JBang uses foojay.io to download Java Development Kit's normally getting Adoptium major releases.
If you want to try out another distribution and even earlyaccess versions you can now tweak these using environment variables

JBANG_JDK_VENDOR	vendor name, ie. `temurin`, `aoj`, `azul`, `debian`, `microsoft`, `openjdk`, `oracle`, `oracle_open_jdk` or `redhat`
JBANG_JDK_RELEASE	`ga` or `ea`

You can set these in your environment or use them directly when calling jbang, i.e.:

JBANG_JDK_VENDOR=oracle JBANG_JDK_RELEASE=ea jbang --java 18 otp.java

This will get latest Java 18 early access release of Oracle JDK.

//SOURCES now supported in .jsh

When using .jsh (jshell) //SOURCES are now supported allowing you to include
other .jsh files.

Catalog can now document its properties

@nandorholozsnyak in his first contribution enabled Catalogs to document its properties
and will be included in jbang catalog list.
