For Java, Groovy, Kotlin and Android compatibility, see the full compatibility notes.
The PMD and CodeNarc plugins now use the Gradle worker API and JVM toolchains. These tools now perform analysis via an external worker process and therefore their tasks may now run in parallel within one project.
In Java projects, these tools will use the same version of Java required by the project. In other types of projects, they will use the same version of Java that is used by the Gradle daemon.
