runIde fails with 'Could not find or load main class com.intellij.idea.Main' Follow

Hello!

We develop a plugin for PyCharm and we wanted to make sure it is compatible with the upcoming PyCharm 223 version before it is released. We reference to the latest PyCharm EAP (223-EAP-SNAPSHOT - 2022-10-05 12:57:45 UTC - 223.6160.21) in the Gradle configuration, but we are not able to launch the the plugin from IntelliJ.

We had to change the SDK of the project to JDK 17 (apparently that is the required version of Java now), but the Gradle's build and runIde task fail. These are the outputs so far:

build:

We enabled the debug flag to see if something more was being logged and we found these lines (don't know if they are relevant):

We had no problems with version 222 of PyCharm. The main difference between them is that for version 222, the SDK of the project is JDK 15 while for version 223 we had to change it to JDK 17 (we suppose the JBR of the product changed from 15 to 17).

Any clue about what could be happening?

Thanks!
