Description

We are currently running v8. The console shows that there are some features we use that will be deprecated in Gradle ~v9~ v8.4.

EDIT: Gradle v9 is not out yet. Instead, I will upgrade from Gradle v8.3 to v8.4 and optionally address the deprecation warnings related to v9.

Here are the deprecation warnings:

$ ./gradlew build
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible and 1 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
Path for java installation '/usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-17' (Common Linux Locations) does not contain a java executable

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

The Project.getConvention() method has been deprecated.

The project is not using this so it's likely a plugin.

About Path for Java..., it seems that Gradle will continue to show this message if the environment is fine. See https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/22921
