Migrate to Java 17 and Update Gradle for Mac Silicon Compatibility

Description

This pull request updates the build.gradle file to ensure compatibility with Java 17 and JavaFX on Mac Silicon (ARM architecture).

Details

OS Used: macOS on an M3 MacBook Pro
JDK Distribution Used:
- openjdk version "17.0.11" 2024-04-16 LTS
- OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-17.0.11.9.1 (build 17.0.11+9-LTS)
- OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-17.0.11.9.1 (build 17.0.11+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)
IDE Used: IntelliJ IDEA
Link to JAR File: Download the JAR file

Noteworthy Information

Build Configuration: Updated build.gradle to include the necessary JavaFX modules for Mac Silicon.
Running the JAR:
- The JAR file cannot be opened by double-clicking.
- To run the JAR file, you need to set up an alias in your ~/.zshrc file and use the runjavafx command.

Setting Up the Alias:

Update your ~/.zshrc file with the following lines:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17`
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export PATH_TO_FX=~/path/to/javafx-sdk-17.0.11/lib

alias runjavafx="java --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml"

Apply the changes by running:
```
source ~/.zshrc
```

Run the JAR file using:

runjavafx -jar path/to/your-fat-jar-file.jar

Issues Faced: Had to update build.gradle to ensure Gradle builds work with Mac Silicon architecture.
