My personal opinion only. One advantage of having a firm compiler during build is less dependence on specifics of the compile-time JDK. This might be important if we e.g. wanted to compile some module with `javac.source=19` or `javac.source=20` - currently, that would require upgrading the build JDK to 19/20, and everyone building NB would need to use that. Also, there may be conflict between supported JDKs of Gradle that we use, and the required JDK to build e.g. `javac.source=20` module. Also, if we ever tried to make reproducible builds, having a firm, known, compiler might reduce the amount of problems to solve. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
