Extra

• MacOS Big Sur 11.6
• OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-17.0.1.12.1
• Also tried with Java 11 (Corretto-11.0.13.8.1), same result.
• Maven project works fine on Java 11 and 17:

It could be specific to MacOS as I just tried with amazoncorretto:11-alpine docker and it worked. But, didn't with with openjdk 17 (so not corretto specific).

When I disabled redeploy, it started.

Instead of

tasks.withType<JavaExec> {
  args = listOf("run", mainVerticleName, "--redeploy=$watchForChange", "--launcher-class=$launcherClassName", "--on-redeploy=$doOnChange")
}

I used

tasks.withType<JavaExec> {
  args = listOf("run", mainVerticleName, "--launcher-class=$launcherClassName")
}

Then it started:

./gradlew run

> Task :run
HTTP server started on port 8888

So the bug is in redeploy code.

Trying to debug, first it failed on slf4j class. Added slf4j-api and logback-classic, now it fails to load javax/smartcardio/CardPermission class:

Downloaded a sample with:

curl -G https://start.vertx.io/starter.zip -d "groupId=com.example" -d "artifactId=starter" -d "vertxVersion=4.3.5" -d "language=java" -d "jdkVersion=17" -d "buildTool=gradle" --output starter.zip

Works for me with AdoptOpenJDK 17 on Mac OS. Perhaps an install issue. Closing.
