I guess you have your own infrastructure but you can freely build open source
projects with Github actions. They provide Linux, Windows, and Mac.
At bndtools we build on all. A few years ago we started to build on Windows for
similar reasons you seem to experience now. It took us a number of months to
work out all the bugs, there were quite a few. Confirming my prejudices against
Windows over and over again :-)
Building with Github actions is frighteningly easy, you can look at the bnd
build for an example. We build on many different Java versions and platforms.
