@Matthias: The current Gradle 3.4.1 doesn't requre Java 10 or 11. It runs fine with Java 8, and the declared package dependencies also reflects that.
For an LTS, I'm suggesting to keep the compatiblity to Java 8, especially since upstream Gradle works fine with Java 8 (even the current version). I did *not* suggest to revert the JDK default.
