implementation 'jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-api:9.1.0'

is Groovy syntactic sugar for

implementation('jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-api:9.1.0')

What you actually want to call without sugar is (parentheses and comma)

implementation('jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-api:9.1.0', {
    because 'we parse emails using the javax.mail package'
})

for which there is for example this ugly sugared version

implementation 'jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-api:9.1.0', {
    because 'we parse emails using the javax.mail package'
}

or the nicer

implementation('jakarta.platform:jakarta.jakartaee-api:9.1.0') {
    because 'we parse emails using the javax.mail package'
}
