Hi, Erik.
Thanks for the explanation. I can't say that I'm surprised. I agree that the documentation should continue to explicitly declare the version number. I hope you find a solution in Gradle.
Best,
Iris

The JDK we use by default is updated quite frequently, but the required
JDK version has not intentionally been kept at the latest. This has been
caused by dependencies creeping in. We can't just blindly update either
as we have to wait for a Gradle version that supports the new JDK
version. I think we should keep it well defined through documentation,
but also make the build use the release flag to force compatibility with
the documented JDK version.
I will see if I can figure out how to change that in Gradle.
