https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html says that ~/.m2/toolchains.xml is required, but I believe that’s no longer true with the arrival of the JDK Toolchain discover mechanism: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-toolchains-plugin/toolchains/jdk-discovery.html

There are however some maven-toolchains-plugin issues that have been open for a while, which may or may not affect your use cases: https://github.com/apache/maven-toolchains-plugin/issues
