Custom runIde task do not find the right runtime, if useInstaller is false

[bric3]

What happened?

Suppose you have plugin that targets an older IJ version that runs on JBR 17, e.g. 2023.3.
But you want to have a run task that uses the latest IDE 2024.3 that runs with JDK 21.

When such a task is written the actual run JDK is JDK 17, also I don't think JCEF is included in this JBR.

I would have expected the correct JDK to be picked up, or at least have a way to configure the JDK / runtime for this runIde task.

Relevant log output or stack trace

Here's what is shown in the about window.

Steps to reproduce

Run ./gradlew runLatestIde with the following Gradle 8.11 reproducer project. THe plugin config has been stripped as it is irrelevant to this issue.

import org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.gradle.IntelliJPlatformType

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.intellij.platform") version "2.1.0"
    kotlin("jvm") version "2.0.21"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()

    intellijPlatform {
        defaultRepositories()
        jetbrainsRuntime()
    }
}

dependencies {
    intellijPlatform {
        create(
            type = "IC",
            version = "2023.3",
            useInstaller = false // don't use the installer for the targeted platform
        )
        jetbrainsRuntime()

        instrumentationTools()
    }
}

intellijPlatformTesting {
    runIde {
        register("runLatestIde") {
//            localPath.set(file("/Users/brice.dutheil/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2024.3 RC.app"))
            type = IntelliJPlatformType.IntellijIdeaCommunity
            version = "2024.3"
            // useInstaller = true // this has no effect
        }
    }
