What does the tasks.gradle contain?

You can try with `--stacktrace` and `--info`

<@USNE4GL0G> This is the line mentioned in the error(tasks.gradle)

This is the log I got after using --stacktract and --info

Try this: <https://www.baeldung.com/gradle-run-java-main>

`main` is deprecated and wrong anyway. You would need to specify the main class there and you are giving the jar as argument. The `javaExec` is aware of runnable jars. Just do not set `main` and set the jar as sole class path entry and it should work automatically.

Besides that you should not use `javaexec` here but a task of type `JavaExec`, not depend on `build` and not specify the jar path manually. Use a task of type `JavaExec` and set the task that builds the jar as class path entry, then you should get the needed task dependency automatically implicitly and it uses the output Jar of the task automatically.
