STM32CubeIDE 1.12.1 wrong CDT update site

[Igor P.]

STM32CubeIDE version 1.12.1 (maybe other versions as well) has the wrong CDT update site configured by default. 1.12.1 uses CDT version 10.6 and Java 11, but CDT update site is configured as https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/latest/ which points to CDT 11.1 and requires Java 17. 

As a result, I you install any plugin that requires additional components from CTD to be installed, Java 17 version of those components will be downloaded and the plug-in will fail to load. More info and logs in "cmake4eclipse" plugin mailing list https://groups.google.com/g/cmake4eclipse-users/c/r2qek2zSGsA/m/OAlXxqheBAAJ

I temporarily fixed that issue on my installation by changing the CDT update site to https://archive.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/10.6/ , but it would be nice if the issue would be addressed by ST.
