Gradle application plugin broke for jdk9?

Has anyone else seen the issue of the application plugin breaking for gradle 4.8 and jdk9 where it says this

about to build assembleDist

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Could not determine java version from ‘9.0.4’.

thanks,
Dean

oh, with stack trace is better. Is this a core gradle api issue?

  • Exception is:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not determine java version from ‘9.0.4’.

fixed, have to upgrade gradle wrapper twice with the gradle command and update gradle.properties with new gradle version before doing that too.
