11/20/2019, 12:50 PMOh thanks :) it's asking me to create Oracle account to download JDK... Is there an alternative way to get JDK? The older ppa source seems to be deprecated

11/20/2019, 1:42 PMBTW: Any reason not to use Java 11 with Kotlin?
(I know there are no real reason to prefer Java 11 over 8 if you are using Kotlin, because Kotlin brings more and better features (than Java 11) - but assume you landscape is already standardized on Java 11.)

11/20/2019, 1:44 PMIt's more of a gradle plugin issue than a Kotlin issue. Some weird errors can turn up in the plugin when using later versions of jdk. (Although most of the ones I've seen have been fixed).
