From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Gradle Community

The code sample of the new configuration api in the release docs is confusing: the old api example contains the same lines 2 times but should differ I guess.

&gt; Currently, you cannot run Gradle on Java 21 because Kotlin lacks support for JDK 21.
Do you know what the most relevant issue in Kotlin's YouTrack would be to follow for this?

I just discovered this... <https://github.com/melix/astro4j/actions/runs/6276469081/job/17046224619#step:6:31>
This is a big deal, since using toolchains is broken in many use cases

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-60662|https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-60662>

there's one easy workaround though, in your `buildSrc/build.gradle.kts`, use:
```tasks.withType&lt;KotlinJvmCompile&gt;().configureEach {
    compilerOptions {
        jvmTarget.set(JvmTarget.JVM_17)
    }
}

tasks.withType&lt;JavaCompile&gt;().configureEach {
    targetCompatibility = "17"
}```
so your Kotlin build scripts compile with target 17, then you can still use 21 to run Gradle

maybe Gradle 8.4 should set this by default, if it knows it runs on a higher version of the JVM, automatically set the target kotlin version to the highest supported

That's a good idea <@UAFGSU86M>, care to create a feature request?
