quarkus-maven-plugin not supporting Java 23 anymore
Describe the bug
I have a small project and updated the version of the quarkus platform and the maven-quarkus-plugin from 3.21.3 to 3.23.3. Suddenly I get the following error when running "mvn quarkus:dev"
[INFO] Compiling 27 source files with javac [debug parameters release 23] to target\classes [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 36.025 s [INFO] Finished at: 2025-06-16T14:11:33+02:00 [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-maven-plugin:3.23.3:dev (default-cli) on project ... : Fatal error compiling: Fehler: Release version 23 not supported -> [Help 1]
Expected behavior
Compiles and runs the project like before.
Additional Informantion
When I set the Java version to "21" everything runs normal again.

I'll try to create a minimal reproducer and share it later as I cannot share this project.
This line:
at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Arguments.reportDiag (Arguments.java:886)
corresponds to the source of the Java 21 compiler.
Thank you very much for the hint. I just discovered that an admin rolled out a JDK that has overwritten my settings and indeed used a JDK21 instead of the configured JDK 23 in the build process. Sorry for the fuss.
