There are several methods for setting a JDK version, but the artifacts check plugin is only parsing the lowest priority method.
JavaPluginExtension.targetCompatibility.majorVersioncan be set directly, or via the newerjavaToolchainfunctionality. However, in an Android project, thecompileOptions.targetCompatibilityproperty has a higher priority, and theoptions.releaseproperty in aJavaCompiletask is higher than them both.Prior to these changes, if a JDK version setting was overwritten by the other methods, the plugin wouldn't catch it. Now it will.
I also made the decision to change
ArtifactConfig.javaVersionfrom aStringto anInt. This is because there's ambiguity when the version is a String and it's representing Java 8. In this case, is the string version just"8"or is it"1.8"? The different methods report different versions. Just treating the version as anIntremoves that ambiguity.
