We cannot exceed the lowest common denominator of tool versions that are supported on all target platforms.

Known limitations:

z/OS (Linux for Z Systems) - Java 1.8.
FreeBSD 11, 12, 13 - Java 1.8 because of Gradle version limitations (higher without Gradle, but meh).
Gradle not to exceed 6.8 due to conflicts with other tools (not yet ready for Gradle 7.n).

Current standard development tools:

Java JDK 1.8 (Oracle or OpenJDK)
Gradle 6.7.n or 6.8.n (not 7.n yet)
Gnu Cobol 3.1+
Gnu curl 7.58+ or Gnu wget 1.19+ (except Microsoft Windows)
Git client
IDE or editor - your choice (see Certified Developer Platforms
