I’ve got a kotlin library that I want to publish. I have set

kotlinOptions.jvmTarget=1.8

to ensure Java 8 compatibility. When I run the build under Java 8, the module builds with a variant that includes

"org.gradle.jvm.version": 8

. However, if I run the same build under Java 11, the variant changes to 11. If I am building a library using Java 11 that I want to support Java 8, how do I do this? My understanding was that setting

kotlinOptions.jvmTarget=1.8

should have ensured that the variant was set to 8.

i believe that

"org.gradle.jvm.version": 8

refers to the jvm version used to run the gradle build. is there an issue that this is causing?
