No. Probably just a badly worded message and the assumption based on best 
practices that builds should run on slaves.

Same behavior change though -- the configured JDK cannot build the project, so 
Jenkins will try to use the JRE/JDK that runs Jenkins itself.

You're building using a newer JRE. Builds may fail even though they should 
succeed in your desired configuration, and vice-versa.

No, see above.

To inform you that possibly undesired magic is happening.

See above. The project isn't actually built using the JDK you want building the 
project.
