You can try setting

targetCompatibility

in your Java project: https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.2/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.JavaCompile.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.JavaCompile:targetCompatibility

If you really need that, then at least use

-release

, not

-source

and

-target

. So set

options.release.set(11)

on the

JavaCompile

task, not

...Compatibility

.

It is possible to specify -release for JavaCompile task, is there an equivalent for Kotlin compiler task? I have a need to build just one module to be compatible with java8 still, at the same time i would love to not have jdk8 installed just because of this single module.
