Hey guys! As you may remember we've had an issue with Nailgun being deprecated and not supporting any new Java versions after 17. I went ahead and forked Nailgun and made it support modern Java, so that we can get unstuck from older Java versions with Pants. I have a PR here
https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/23405 which just allows us to configure Pants to use that nailgun fork to start with, it would be great if someone could take a look or if there's any feedback on that 🙂
