Setup action fails without clearr error

[daan-flore]

Description:
We are running self hosted runners of github and somethimes the setup-java actions fails without any clear error or warning. Even when running the scripts in debug mode we are just seeing that the sripts stops with exit code 1 and trying to list the versions. To be able to further investigate it we would need to see on with the actions fails.
Is it a connection timout, rejection, non valid http code returned, ...
