java version requirement

[rossetti]

The documentation indicates that the build requires java 11:

kotlin {
compilerOptions {
jvmTarget.set(JVM_11) // JVM 11 is needed for Desktop
}
withJava()
...
}

Is this a hard requirement or can later version e.g. java 21 be used? What necessitates the need for java 11?

Actually, this is a minimum version requirement. Java 11 is (not sure if no longer) required by Skiko, which is used when targeting the JVM.
