Hello everyone.
I encounter the error when using `JDK 17` and `Gradle 7.3.3/7.4`,
`Unsupported class file major version 61`.

I think the solution to resolve this is to downgrade the JDK version to 11 after searching through the internet.

What should I do to resolve this issue if I insist to use JDK 17.

I am using WSL2, with the following setup for my console application.
```JDK: 17
Build System: Gradle Groovy
Target JVM version: 16```


Major version 61 is Java 17.
So your error means you are trying to use a class compiled for Java 17 with some older Java at runtime.

Where exactly do you get that error?
And has it actually anything to do with Kotlin?
