"Using Java versions older than 11 ... " complaint with Java 17 Early Access build
I see `[WARNING] [io.quarkus.deployment.QuarkusAugmentor] Using Java versions older than 11 to build Quarkus applications is deprecated and will be disallowed in a future release!` complaint when using Java 17 Early Access build

Code for version check probably doesn't handle `-ea` suffix in Early Access Java build version, e.g. `17-ea`.
