JDK 17 is required to build Elasticsearch. You must have a JDK 17 installation
with the environment variable `JAVA_HOME` referencing the path to Java home for
your JDK 17 installation. By default, tests use the same runtime as `JAVA_HOME`.
However, since Elasticsearch supports JDK 11, the build supports compiling with
JDK 17 and testing on a JDK 11 runtime; to do this, set `RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME`
pointing to the Java home of a JDK 11 installation. Note that this mechanism can
be used to test against other JDKs as well, this is not only limited to JDK 11.
> Note: It is also required to have `JAVA8_HOME`, `JAVA11_HOME`, and `JAVA17_HOME`
available so that the tests can pass.
your JDK 17 installation.
Elasticsearch uses the Gradle wrapper for its build. You can execute Gradle
using the wrapper via the `gradlew` script on Unix systems or `gradlew.bat`
