Research direction
Start with plugin-gradle/src/main/java/com/diffplug/gradle/spotless/SpotlessTaskImpl.java at line 50, where Spotless invocation is inlined into task execution. Investigate how Gradle JavaExec and toolchains can run a separate main file. Done means Spotless uses the configured Java toolchain for execution without making the build depend on the JVM running Gradle.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently, the spotless invocation is inlined into the task execution itself.
Is it possible to instead run a separate main file in JavaExec? Gradle has introduced toolchain feature to allow build to control the Java version used for compile and execution which works very well to allow any user's Java version to run the build with a specific one. But unfortunately, this currently doesn't affect Spotless which runs in Gradle itself - for example, this means that a build must become unbuildable on Java 8 to upgrade to the latest googleJavaFormat since it requires higher Java version. It would be nice if this could be avoided.
