Com.gradle.enterprise requirement when compiling Java 17 with Gradle 7.3.3

Hello, we are currently migrating our Project to Java 17

For this I upgraded the Gradle version to 7.3.3. Since this I get the following error when trying to build:

Plugin [id: 'com.gradle.enterprise', version: '3.7', artifact: 'com.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.7'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'com.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.7')

gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin doesn’t seem to be referenced anywhere in the Gradle file.

Where does this come from? Why do Gradle needs this now?

Due to cooperate reasons I am currently not able to retrieve new libraries through Nexus (or Maven Central). How can I bypass this requirement or load the jar locally without the need to retrieve it via an online repository?

I tried Gradle 7.2, it seems to throw the same error.

Hi, I am facing the same issue using Java 17 and Gradle 7.5.1. Were you able to resolve this issue? What was the cause? Any update would help.
Thanks

Afair it is only auto-applied if you use the --scan option.
