Consider using Gradle JVM toolchain

[HonzaR]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We'd like to have our Java version unified across the whole project. We could consider using the Gradle JVM toolchain as described here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like:

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(17))
        vendor.set(JvmVendorSpec.ADOPTIUM)
    }
}

        vendor.set(JvmVendorSpec.JETBRAINS)
    }
}
