Exception on runJosm task: Could not initialize class org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.WinRegistry

Hi.

I was trying to run Mapillary JOSM plugin using "runJosm" task, I'm facing following issue:

I've even tried to crate a new project with such build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id "org.openstreetmap.josm" version "0.8.2"
}

group 'org.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

josm {
    pluginName = "MyAwesomePluginName"
    josmCompileVersion = 18511
    manifest {
        description = "The description of my awesome plugin"
        mainClass = "org.openstreetmap.josm.plugins.myawesomeplugin.MyAwesomePlugin"
        minJosmVersion = 18511
    }
}

Results were the same. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA on Windows 10, Azul 17 JDK.

Thank you for reporting, I'll look into it!

Edit: I can reproduce this in a Windows 10 VM with Azul JDK 17

This part of the console output seems to be the relevant portion:
