Gradle Build Fails [Java 17+ compatibility]

[fjblau]

Running a fresh install of ML and DH... using the gradle deploy, I get:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':mlDeployApp'.

class com.marklogic.hub.deploy.commands.LoadUserModulesCommand tried to access private method 'void java.net.URLDecoder.()' (com.marklogic.hub.deploy.commands.LoadUserModulesCommand is in unnamed module of loader org.gradle.internal.classloader.VisitableURLClassLoader @740548e6; java.net.URLDecoder is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

This was due to an incompatibility with Java 17. We haven't added Java 17 to our support matrix yet.

Upgrading to DH 6.0 and the project's gradle wrapper to 7.3 or higher (See: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html) appears to resolve the issue with initial tests. We've added an item in our backlog to add more extensive testing for Java 17 compatibility.
