We added a way to skip importing metadata into a Project if a JAR was available locally, but that was still causing problems in certain situations. For example if you would compile with Java 19 and then uninstall Java 19 leaving an earlier version, let's say Java 11, jbang would try to download Java 19 just to run the code, even though nothing in the source indicated that was necessary. In that case it's much more convenient to simply recompile the code with Java 11. The solution now is to not import the metadata into the Project anymore, but to make it an explicit action of reading the information and let the code that does the reading decide what to do with it.
