[plugin-maven] BUG: `GoogleJavaFormatStep.defaultVersion` throws NPE in CI Java matrix

[stechio]

In the context of a GitHub Actions workflow, upgrading my Maven toolchain from single JDK to Java matrix, I'm experiencing what seems to be a bug affecting Spotless Maven plugin (version 3.0.0):

• in simple setup (just JDK 11), Spotless Maven plugin works perfectly fine 😎 — see workflow execution summary
• in Java matrix (JDK 11, 21, 25), weirdly enough, with the same JDK 11 Spotless fails 😲 (see stacktrace at the bottom), whilst with JDK 21 and 25 it works perfectly fine 😖 — see workflow execution summary

So, recapping: with JDK 11, Spotless works perfectly fine in simple setup, but fails within Java matrix; on the contrary, with other JDKs after the first one, it works perfectly fine within Java matrix.

The error is deterministically reproducible (even locally via nektos/act) and affects both check and apply goals identically. It originates in Jvm.getRecommendedFormatterVersion():

@Nullable public V getRecommendedFormatterVersion() {
	Integer configuredJvmVersionOrNull = jvm2fmtMaxVersion.floorKey(Jvm.version());
	return configuredJvmVersionOrNull == null ? null : jvm2fmtMaxVersion.get(configuredJvmVersionOrNull);
}

Apparently, either Jvm.version() is undefined, or jvm2fmtMaxVersion misses matching floor key — there must be some condition going unexpected during the initialization of Spotless... The fact it affects JDK 11 only in Java matrix, whilst the parallel execution of other JDKs is always successful, is pretty strange... 🤔

simple setup (just JDK 11)

Starting with the 3.0.0 version of spotless-maven, we do not support 11, and we require 17. That was why we bumped the major version.

Please note that writing

simple setup (just JDK 11)

I meant the JDK used by the Maven toolchain to build my source code, NOT the JDK used to run Maven and its plugins (which is, precisely, JDK 17, as referenced in the workflow via .tool-versions file) — if that was not the case, Spotless wouldn't work in the first place!

Consequently, I assume this issue is still open.
