muesliJava tooling in 2026:
"Install JDK 21."
"Actually keep JDK 26."
"Also set JAVA_HOME to something."
"Gradle will ignore it unless it won't."
Jeez, I just wanted to compile an app not perform an ancient ritual.

Never add a jre to a system or user PATH for a non-OS package or development environment, leave that to the OS to manage for OS packages. Set PATH and JAVA_HOME locally within scriots, if necessary.
