Correct. You'll get a JDK8-only jar, but no full tar artifact set.

The build system needs a dual-JDK install to build the artifacts with
support for each/both.

JDK8 runtime is the default, JDK11 runtime is optional, but supported.
Here's the JIRA with all the details:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608

I just pushed a WIP branch to do a dual-JDK build via docker, since we
need to work on this, too. (lines may wrap:)

git clone -b tar-artifact-build
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra-builds.git

cd cassandra-builds/

docker build -t cass-build-tars -f docker/buster-image.docker docker/

docker run --rm -v `pwd`/dist:/dist `docker images -f
label=org.cassandra.buildenv=buster -q` /home/build/build-tars.sh trunk

After all that, here's my tar artifacts:

(tar-artifact-build)mshuler@hana:~/git/cassandra-builds$ ls -l dist/
total 94328
-rw-r--r-- 1 mshuler mshuler 50385890 Mar  6 21:16
apache-cassandra-4.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 mshuler mshuler 46198947 Mar  6 21:16
apache-cassandra-4.0-SNAPSHOT-src.tar.gz

Or you could drop a dual-JDK install on your machine, export the env
vars you found and `ant artifacts` should produce the tars :)
