I'd like to use more recent LTS version 17 which was released 14 September 2021

Hi @nibexo sorry for delay - we are currently working on more prioritized tickets, but will get back to this once be able to.
As a workaround - you can set up path to the JDK using jdkUserInputPath task input (you can find variables which keep paths to JDKs installed on hosted images in docs - for example, here's the list of JDKs for windows 2022 image).

@anatolybolshakov Thank you for your answer, however if adding latest version JDK LTS to task maven@3 is almost done, so adding it also to Gradle task shouldn't be big problem, or I'm wrong?

This worked for me, although '1.17' is not a supported option in the UI.
