+   If you have multiple JDK versions installed, check which one Gradle will use, with:
+
+   ```sh
+   ./gradlew --version
+   ```
+
+   and if the version number on the JVM line is not a supported one, you can pick the correct JDK at runtime with this syntax (verify your system path):

+   ```sh
+   ./gradlew build -Dorg.gradle.java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/
+   ```

 If you do not have JDK 11 installed, check out scripts in the [scripts](../scripts) directory or download it manually from https://jdk.java.net/archive/.
