Support for Java 17 in Gradle Task

[fte7fe]

Question, Bug, or Feature?
Type: Feature

Enter Task Name: Gradle

list here (V# not needed):
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/GradleV3

Environment

• Server - Azure Pipelines or TFS on-premises?

  • I am using azure pipeling and i cannot provide a build definition because my gradle build wont even run without java 17

• Agent - Hosted or Private:

  • Hosted : For now no point in creating the pipeline

Issue Description

As mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/gradle-v3?view=azure-pipelines
And also what you see if you configure the task, there is no option to use jdk 17 with gradle, the maven task already support jdk17 for instance.

There are already PR for this but those have been marked as stale :
#16458
#16160

The maven PR is the following:
#15844

There seem to be a workaround documented here , could be nice in the documentation : #15647

Hi @LiliaSabitova , I would like to know how long it will take to have the selection available in gradle devops task?

Same question here. I am setting up a new project and I don't want to work around this issue for just a few weeks.

Same question - Java 17 is the latest LTS, but do not see a way to configure it - latest seems to be JDK 11 ?

@breucode Looks like it can still be configured in the pipeline, the official docs are not updated: #15647 (comment)
