Re: gradle wants openjdk-11 even if a newer version is installed? ...
Even though I think it is not a problem with gradle per se, I was
trying to make sense of things by also raising those issues with them:
https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-wants-as-java-version-openjdk-11-even-if-a-newer-version-is-installed/45254
those gradle folks should avail jar files with the latest version of
their thing.

"random things" you said?
Since we are talking here about gradle which is based of groovy,
which is just a DSL implementation in java exploiting its reflection
API, ... you are not making much sense. Notice that on their
installation page:
https://gradle.org/install/
they are not telling you that you must have exactly jdk-11. They do
state that it must be greater than java version "1.8.0_121" which you
check in exactly the way I did; so, it seems that during installation
they do check for a java installation in the standard "java -version"
way.
What I am talking about doesn't exactly relate to what "package
managers" do, or so I thought.
