Thank you so much @FxMorin! This is a tremendous gift - I will pick up work on this once I've finished working on the Directed Feedback Arc & Vertex Set detection I'm working on at the moment. |

I will try to take @aalmiray's contribution and incorporate your work into his so it all builds together without needing to copy jars. |

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Windows build script for the new Gradle plugin passes an empty classpath option alongside the wrapper JAR, which can prevent the wrapper from starting on some Windows setups. Removing the redundant option is a one-line change and is worth resolving before merge; the rest of the plugin wiring and build changes look self-consistent. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

🟡 Subproject reports reject valid repositories
When baseDir is a subproject, HTML and CSV reports reject its enclosing Git repository. HTML emits only a warning; CSV writes nothing.
Learn more
The report layer discovers .git by walking upward from baseDir, then requires the Git directory's parent to equal baseDir exactly in generateReport. Gradle subprojects normally sit below one repository root, so that equality fails even though Git discovery succeeds. CsvReport has the same check and returns before writing its warning.
Example: A task applied to /work/app/service-a finds /work/app/.git. The HTML task writes a warning instead of analysis, while the CSV task creates no report.
Recommended fix: Pass both the analysis directory and discovered repository root through the report API. Permit analysis below the repository root, and make Git paths relative to that root. Apply the same behavior to both HTML task classes and the CSV task.

🟡 Subproject output escapes its project
For subprojects, relativizeToProject turns the configured output into a process-relative path. ReportWriter resolves it under the root build, misplacing every report.
Learn more
The helper computes a path relative to each task's Project.getProjectDir(). ReportWriter constructs a File from that string alone, so Java resolves it against the Gradle process working directory instead. That directory is normally the root build directory, not a subproject directory.
Example: In /work/app/service-a, the default output resolves to /work/app/service-a/target/site and becomes target/site. The writer creates /work/app/target/site, not the configured subproject location.
Recommended fix: Change the report APIs and ReportWriter to accept an absolute File or Path. Pass outputDir directly from every Gradle task instead of converting it to a relative string.

🟡 JSON tasks leak repository handles
Each JsonReportExecutor run leaves its CostBenefitCalculator open. Repeated JSON tasks in one Gradle daemon accumulate JGit repository handles.
Learn more
JsonReportExecutor.execute allocates CostBenefitCalculator without try-with-resources. That calculator owns a GitLogReader, and close releases its JGit repository. Gradle daemons remain alive across task invocations, so the leaked repository resources persist beyond one build.
Example: Running refactorFirstJsonReport repeatedly from an IDE reuses one daemon. Every run opens another JGit repository and none are closed.
Recommended fix: Wrap CostBenefitCalculator in try-with-resources inside JsonReportExecutor.execute, matching CsvReport.execute, and preserve the current exception handling.

🟨 Report output escapes the project
An untrusted outputDirectory accepts absolute paths and .. segments. Report generation can overwrite matching files outside the project.

Gradle issue 34149 gradlew.bat -classpath "" -jar "Error: -classpath requires class path specification" fixed 9.1
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Gradle issue 34149 pertains to a bug in the Windows gradlew.bat script where the Java command is incorrectly invoked with an empty -classpath "" argument when the CLASSPATH environment variable is not defined [1]. Some Java implementations reject this empty classpath specification, resulting in the error: Error: -classpath requires class path specification [1]. While the user query mentions this in the context of "fixed 9.1", issue 34149 was created on July 7, 2025, and remained open in the public tracking system as of late 2025 [1]. There is no official confirmation in the available documentation that this specific issue was resolved in the Gradle 9.1 release [1][2][3]. Workarounds for this issue include: * Using a different JDK or JRE distribution that may handle the empty -classpath "" argument without error [1]. * Explicitly setting the CLASSPATH environment variable before running the wrapper script, which prevents the batch file from generating the empty -classpath flag [1]. If you are experiencing errors in Gradle 9.1, it is important to distinguish between this specific batch file issue and other reported regressions in 9.1, such as issues with Kotlin IDE integration or DefaultTaskCollection#configureEach errors [4][5].

Gradle 9.0 9.1 gradlew.bat -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" empty classpath issue 34149 commit history
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The "empty classpath" issue in gradlew.bat (tracked as issue #34149 in the Gradle repository) refers to a problem where the Windows batch script invokes the Java executable with an explicit -classpath "" argument [1]. When the CLASSPATH environment variable is undefined or empty, this results in java receiving an empty string for the classpath, which causes the command to fail with the error: Error: -classpath requires class path specification [1]. This issue occurs because the gradlew.bat script, in certain versions of Gradle, explicitly includes the -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" parameter when calling the Java runtime [1]. Because %CLASSPATH% is not always defined in the Windows environment, it resolves to an empty string, which the Java launcher rejects as invalid syntax [1]. In subsequent Gradle releases (notably 9.1.0 and later), the wrapper scripts were significantly overhauled [2][3]. The dependency on the CLASSPATH environment variable for invoking the Gradle CLI has been removed in favor of a cleaner, direct -jar invocation that does not require the -classpath argument at all [3]. This change effectively eliminates the empty classpath error associated with earlier versions [3]. For users encountering this error on older versions of Gradle, common workarounds include manually setting the CLASSPATH variable to a dummy value or, more ideally, upgrading the Gradle wrapper to a version where this script logic has been refactored (such as 9.1.0 or later) [1][2][3]. As part of the broader improvements to start scripts in the 9.x series, the wrapper was reworked to improve consistency and ensure that environment variable handling no longer interferes with the invoked process [2].

Remove the empty classpath option.
gradlew.bat clears CLASSPATH and then emits -classpath "" before -jar. Some Windows JVM and command-line combinations reject the empty specification with -classpath requires class path specification, which blocks wrapper startup. The failure is conditional, not universal across Windows environments. Gradle 9.1 reworked the wrapper template to remove this classpath dependency, but this file retains the older form.
Because -jar launches the wrapper JAR directly, remove the redundant option:

Initial gradle plugin support.
This is a rough implementation of the gradle plugin.
I likely won't have any more time to work on this for a while.
All code examples are written with Kotlin DSL
Building the jar
If you aren't using a published version of the plugin, you need to create the jar manually. Otherwise you can skip this
mvn install./refactor-first-gradle-plugin/gradlew shadowJar./refactor-first-gradle-plugin/build/libs/refactor-first-gradle-plugin-<version>-all.jarand place it in your gradle project root.Using the plugin
If you are using a jar:
In your project's
build.gradle.ktsyou would add:buildscript { dependencies { classpath(files("refactor-first-gradle-plugin-<version>-all.jar")) } }If you are using the gradle plugin portal:
In your project's
build.gradle.ktsyou would add:repositories { gradlePluginPortal() }Will probably also need to implement it.
Load the plugin
Once you've synced gradle, you should see some new tasks within your root.
Run them like you would any other tasks.

I than attempted it with https://github.com/Mojang/DataFixerUpper and got the same issues.
I'm not sure if this is gradle related or not.
