Hi Debian maintainers!

I'm a casual user of the current testing version of the Debian distribution
and I've run into a slight problem. I'm trying to use gradle as a build
system but the version offered from the apt package manager doesn't work
with openjdk version 11. I was on buster and switched to testing thinking
that the gradle package found on there would be new enough that it would be
compatible with openjdk 11, but it is unfortunately not. I then considered
adding an alternative openjdk that could be compatible, but openjdk 11 is
the lowest version offered if I'm not mistaken. Right now I don't want to
download gradle and set it up from their website since it is recommended to
rely on the package manager as much as possible. Therefore, this might seem
like a weird request, because I really don't know anything about rolling
out newer versions of packages on for package managers, but I was wondering
something could be done to add a newer version of gradle? If it is not
possible at this time I understand I'll just proceed with downloading it
from online and I give my thanks anyways.

Thanks,
John
