Description
### Expected behavior
Hi Team,
I am trying to build and use a customized JMeter (internally named JMeterCore) sourced from Git and hosted in our Azure DevOps repository. The goal is to generate a working JMeter distribution/latest Jar files (with updated dependencies in /lib) to run load tests.
However, I am encountering security-related errors and dependency issues during the Gradle build, and I’m not sure if this is the correct or recommended approach for maintaining a custom JMeter build. Any other different approach to build locally other than Gradle.bat?
Note: Refer to the attachment for security errors while building using Gradle bat file.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached JmeterQuestionToGitCommunity.docx files and the Gradle build errors for JMeter 5.6.3 on JDK 21 and Windows 11. Reproduce the local build with the stated environment, then determine whether the security errors and missing or outdated /lib JARs can be resolved; the issue is done when a working customized distribution or a documented supported build approach is established.
