Summary / Manifesto

The Gradle daemon will now require Java 17 to run. Previously, Java 8 was required.

This will result in Gradle refusing to start a build if your JVM is not at least Java 17.

Workers, compilers, and test executors will support running with Java 8 and above. Previously, Java 6 was supported.

The Tooling API will remain compatible with Java 8.
