Cannot run ./gradlew on cloned repo

[mgroth0]

Expected Behavior

Cloned project should run ./gradlew without error.

Observed Behavior

After cloning and using ./gradlew, I see this error:

Ktlint_dokka_gradle has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 64.0

I figure my gradle jvm version is wrong. The contribution docs mention setting the project language level to 8. So I tried a new command:

./gradlew -Dorg.gradle.java.home=/Users/matthewgroth/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-1.8.0_402/Contents/Home/

But this just leads to a different error:

> Could not determine the dependencies of null.
   > Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':ktlint-api-consumer:classpath'.
      > Could not resolve project :build-logic.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone library
2. Run ./gradlew

Your Environment

• Cloned master branch at 4fd9d0b
• My default gradle jvm is temurin-20.0.2

[Goooler]

Install JDK 21 and try again.

[paul-dingemans]

And, if you have multiple version of java installed, please make sure that java 17+ is set as active version when invoking ./gradlew.

It seems only jdk 21 works, not 20.
