Ah ha!

Here’s how I think I can solve this:

```gradle
task displayJavaVersion {
    doLast {
        println "JDK version: ${java.toolchain.languageVersion.get().toString()}"
    }
}

build.dependsOn displayJavaVersion

```

I can add this task to my plugin for as-needed execution and include it in the build chain like I have.
