Why the Gradle Build Tool aggressively chases the newest JDK and how toolchains keep your build perfectly safe while we do. https://blog.gradle.org/gradle-is-javamaxxing

Suggestion to "eagerly" chase the newest JDK, instead of "aggressively". Nothing is aggressive about it, this is all gentle 🙂

It's not clear to me how I can get gradle to use the latest jvm and the project still use an older version. In the article is mentioned how you can use toolchains to support java 8 for your project, but it doesn't mention how to configure gradle to run on java 26 for that same project

@Luis Mirabal either use your

JAVA_HOME

or the daemon toolchain provisioning
