This code might be helpful

[no]

Thanks for the shout out 🙂
That will ensure that your java home is the same, but if you want to ensure that all your builds use java8 you can try this: https://github.com/gradle/android-cache-fix-gradle-plugin/blob/master/build.gradle#L121

@Arun do you use the gradle doctor in your build? 😄

i’d like to require 11+ or even easier lock it down further

[no]

what are you trying to lock down? out of curiousity?

[rrva]

we import jdk.jfr package in our code which is only part of JDK 11+

[rrva]

and this is not possible to express as a gradle dependency afaik, but its a dependency on JDK internal classes

[rrva]

so I want to ensure people are guided in the right direction when building. It’s in the README but still

the sample i sent should be exactly what you need!
