Review Comment:
Like explained at
https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/701#discussion_r1425440185
Ideally we need all between 2.5 and now.
2.5 -> 1.3
? -> 1.4
? -> 1.5
before 3.0.0-M1 -> 1.6
3.0.0-M5 and lower -> 1.7
more -> 1.8

> As it turns out, even if Toolchains is used with an older Java version the
> base line is always Java 8 since Surefire requires Java 8 as minimum. We
> should document that since people are having a hard time with this, see
> SUREFIRE-1923.
