Hey there @josedahlquist ! , Yes absolutely , just pull from this build and try to build it , and you will see an error message during the compile. This is from gradle 7.x being there , and the gradle wrapper installed.

I had to go through a lengthy process and rebuild a new gradle wrapper , and update it too gradle 8.8 that would compile a .JAR file properly ,
So to do that , I then took the working gradle 8.8 and merged all of the projects files over , until a .jar file could be easily and completely compiled without errors for the node.

to build it and recreate the error , just follow the steps in the read me's , but
I believe you can just pull from here and in the root directory do a gradlew build , and
-- Try and get the output , JAR file thats required to run. It should appear in a folder , but I was experiencing a gradle wrapper class exception of sorts , - I am running windows 10.

• Just try and build it here as it is and see if it runs , you will likely see an error due too gradles updates, or at least I did.

So I am a noob at doing pull requests but I will do it soo you guys can see the working code and use it how you need. I didn't touch any of the actual node files or anything in it , its just built on a Gradle CLI that I installed on windows 10 ,

• When installing the gradle on a local build , if you someone were to do the same thing I did , you would have too just follow the Gradle CLI build prompt commands I had also placed in the read me.

--- Sidenote , Gradle is has a few long steps to set up on a windows 10 machine , so I just installed gradle through chocolatey package installer with , choco install gradle , after installing choco through Node.
-- Much easier process !

---So trying to create this build locally , I had to install gradle on my machine , and update the gradle wrapper and merge it over , into gradle 8.8 because the

• gradlew build was broke.

  whenever recreating my fix I did , One would have to also have gradle installed ,
  and run a Gradle init.
  , in the working repo , you have to press the right prompts ,
  during a gradle init process ,
  for a Java Project and a few others , to be built properly where the .jar file will build.

  I had written down the choices I selected soo you can recreate the gradle wrapper build again if it ever needs updated in the future, but as of now the Gradle build in the repository I have
  was updated too gradle 8.8 and the code
  im trying to share works perfectly well and is structured just a bit different , with a app folder using it as a
  Production build folder , ( thats where the .jar file is generated at now in the build I have , its easy to work with )

And it only makes the app folder and compiles the .jar in there now , because thats how the gradle init
sets up the project.

But yeah ,
Gradle 8.8 is a complete new overhaul with a whole new API thing in it or something , and it was breaking on me , after I tested a few times.

I tested out my gradlew update and it would consistently build a jar file ,

just run both repos too see yourself if you have too because the build was broke when I tired to build
the .jar originally if that helps.

I will try and do a pull request now , thank you !
