Liquibase gradle plugin 2.1.1 does not work with gradle 7.4.2

[vinkenfl]

Hi there,
I am unsing the liquibase gradle plugin in version 2.1.1 and gradle with 7.4.2. together with Java 17. By starting for example a "snapshot" task I get the following call stack.
Before I was using Java 11 with gradle 6.9.1. and the same plugin version and it worked perfectly.

I haven't been able to reproduce this error. Is it still a problem with the latest release of the plugin (2.2.0), and Liquibase 4.4+?

[copenhaverjf]

For anyone who's seeing this issue, I was originally experiencing this issue with
v2.2.1 of the plugin
gradle 7.4
Java 17
and liquibase 4.5.0.

I upgraded liquibase deps to the latest (4.25.1) and the error disappeared.
