Gradle-based projects under Java 17 try to launch Gradle daemon with VM option -XX:MaxPermSize=512m removed in Java 17

Running with Java 17 (now required?) with Gradle-based project fails because Gradle launcher command contains VM option -XX:MaxPermSize removed in Java 17.

Environment

• Operating System: macOS
• JDK version: Corretto 17.0.3.6.1
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.69
• Java extension version: 1.8.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Gradle-based project
2. See Java project fail to be created
3. Look at output for Language Support for Java:

Sample project:
https://github.com/davidpcaldwell/slime

Usa il progetto di esempio slime collegato con Java 17 e ispeziona il percorso di sincronizzazione di Gradle indicato nel trace, iniziando da GradleProjectImporter e dal comando del daemon. Riproduci il problema, individua dove l’opzione VM obsoleta entra nella configurazione di avvio e verifica che il progetto venga importato correttamente senza l’errore di Java 17.
