[java-debug-adapter & jdtls] Install older versions of packages

[gbroques]

I'm trying to install an older version of java-debug-adapter with the following command:

:MasonInstall java-debug-adapter@0.46.0

However, I see the following error due to com.microsoft.java.debug.plugin-0.50.0.jar not existing in that older version:

        Unpacking "vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.46.0.vsix"…
        Link target "C:\\Users\\gbroques\\AppData\\Local\\nvim-data\\mason\\packages\\java-debug-adapter\\extension/server/com.microsoft.java.debug.plugin-0.50.0.jar" does not exist.

Is there a way to override the com.microsoft.java.debug.plugin-0.50.0.jar with com.microsoft.java.debug.plugin-0.42.0.jar which is the version java-debug-adapter@0.46.0 contains?

Another idea is to look for any version with a glob pattern such as com.microsoft.java.debug.plugin-*.jar.

jdtls has a similar limitation due to the download URL containing a timestamp, 202402151717, and the versioned share dependency.

:MasonInstall jdtls@v1.24.0

The correct download URL for 1.24.0 is:
