There is also a codeNarc failure, but I don't belieive that has anything to do with JDK 17 and is related to the old groovy.util.XmlParser that is now only available at groovy.xml.XmlParser (which is strange since neither Gradle 8.1.1 nor codeNarc 3.2.0 source code seem to have any references to the old XmlParser path). Execution failed for task ':groovy-ant:codenarcMain'.> A failure occurred while executing org.gradle.api.plugins.quality.internal.CodeNarcAction > java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: groovy/util/XmlParser -Spencer
