## Building overview

This project can now be built and tested with JDK21.
This project can now be built and tested with JDK25.

If the build script detects BC_JDK8, BC_JDK11, BC_JDK17 it will add to the usual test task a dependency on test tasks
that specifically use the JVMs addressed by those environmental variables. The script relies on JAVA_HOME for picking up Java 21 if it is use.

We support testing on specific JVMs as it is the only way to be certain the library is compatible.

If only a Java 21 JDK is present then the normal test task and test21 are run only.
