Hi, has anyone ran into trouble with gradle task :kaptGenerateStubsKotlin with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class <http://org.jetbrains.kotlin.com|org.jetbrains.kotlin.com>.intellij.pom.java.LanguageLevel on JVM 17?
I’m having a “it works on my machine” problem and the only difference seems to be the JVM version.
We were able to amend it by adding gradle.properties settings option org.gradle.jvmargs=-Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options=--illegal-access=permit, but it seems like out of random the build fails even with the option too, in which case we remove the option again-- as if the error switches on and off out of nowhere.
Any hints would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

for the record, Gradle below 7.3 doesn't support running on Java 17 https://docs.gradle.org/7.3/release-notes.html#java17

Downgrading java version works! Thank you so much 😄

Also KAPT + JDK17 needs Kotlin 1.6+ afaik
