I have a java 17 Spring Boot project requiring preview features but I can’t get it configured correctly.

In VSC, I have configured my project’s

• JDK Runtime to use JavaSE-17

• Compiler to use

  • the ‘–release’ option for cross-compilation

  • the Bytecode version: to 17

  • Here, I have no possibility to enable preview features

In my build.gradle file, I have the following:

// [N]:preview-features - https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/building_java_projects.html#sec:feature_preview
tasks.withType(JavaCompile).configureEach {
    options.compilerArgs += '--enable-preview'
}
tasks.withType(Test).configureEach {
    jvmArgs += '--enable-preview'
}
tasks.withType(JavaExec).configureEach {
    jvmArgs += '--enable-preview'
}

Such a setting doesn’t enable me to use preview features of java 22 in my java editor. But, I can compile, test and run my code with Gradle successfully.

Also, I have a problem when I try to use the Spring Boot Dashboard integrated in VSC. If I try to run or debug my project, I get the following in the output window:

> Build starts at 2024-08-14 07:44:34
Task :compileJava started
Task :compileJava failed
------

Could not execute build using connection to Gradle installation '/Users/utilisationnormale/.sdkman/candidates/gradle/current'.
error: invalid source release 17 with --enable-preview
  (preview language features are only supported for release 22)
1 error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.

My Gradle version is 8.9

My VSC version is 1.92.0

My Extension Pack for Java is v0.29.0

My Spring Boot Dashboard for VS Code is v0.14.0

Thanks in advance
