Description

so gradle now supports configuring java like this, which will install a gradle version of java if the required version isn't already available. I think it would be cool to do that with node, instead of either/or

java {
  toolchain {
    languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(11))
  }
}

Research direction

Start by reviewing the plugin's existing Node detection and setup path, then compare the requested behavior with the Gradle Java toolchain example in the issue. The work is done when the plugin can detect or install a suitable Node version instead of requiring Node to be present beforehand.
