@yurivict Unfortunately we only support the version of gradle bundled with the GATK repo, which is currently version 7.3.2. We're happy to consider a PR to update us to a newer gradle, however (just need to modify the version in gradle-wrapper.properties)

We also don't currently support Java 17, though we have an open work-in-progress PR to update us to it, which we expect to get merged within the next month or so: #8013

The Java 17 branch includes an upgrade to gradle 7.5.1.
