it looks like you need to compile with Java 11 (that's class file 55)

There is a little hiccup. The some part of package needs Java 8 while other Java 11. how can I work on two different?

compile with 11, set sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility appropriately
one pitfall is that you can still use 9+ functions in the java 8 code, but to fix that you need to use
--release
in the appropriate java compiler: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions:compilerArgs

@octylFractal I will be more verbose. I'm trying to compile Kotlin with the Gradle 4.4.1 which needs Java 8. But this kotlin-gradle-plugin needs class file 55 as the error mentioned. How can I proposed with it?

I don't think you can, that's just not possible. You must upgrade Gradle
I guess the alternative is find out what dependency contains the Java 11 files, and downgrade it
I'm honestly surprised that
android
stuff would be compiled with 11, that's not typical.

right, but where are you even getting " android/databinding/tool/LayoutXmlProcessor$OriginalFileLookup" that's Java 11?

Yea, the weird part is the 1.3.30 is fine with java 8 while the older version doesn't support it
1.2.3
1.2.4

Replacing com.android.tools.build:gradle:jar:2.0.0  ->  com.android.tools.build:gradle:jar:debian
	Replacing org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:jar:2.4.12  ->  org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:jar:debian
this is kinda weird

Aha, the main objective is to package kotlin and then update gradle for Debian repos

well, those probably need to be compiled with java 8

Yea! I'm not sure where I'm going wrong 😞
I'll research more!
