Upgrade Gradle to 9.0.0 by Copilot · Pull Request #125 · graphql-java/graphql-java-extended-validation

Upgrades Gradle wrapper from 8.3 to 9.0.0 and resolves compatibility issues.

Changes

Gradle wrapper: Updated to 9.0.0 with enhanced security properties (validateDistributionUrl, networkTimeout)
Test configuration: Added useJUnitPlatform() to enable Spock test discovery (required in Gradle 9.0+)
Publishing syntax: Fixed deprecated property assignment in maven(MavenPublication) block

// Before
groupId group
artifactId 'graphql-java-extended-validation'

// After  
groupId = group
artifactId = 'graphql-java-extended-validation'

Runtime Requirements

Gradle 9.0 requires JVM 17+ to run the daemon. Project continues to compile for Java 11 via toolchain configuration. CI workflows use JDK 11 for compilation and auto-detect JDK 17 for Gradle execution.
