V3.5.0 beta testing

Development
9

When I update my projects to 3.5.0-beta4, they fail to locate the native LWJGL(3) libraries during startup.
I tried to run them from the IDE (IntelliJ) on both, Windows 10 and Linux Kubuntu,
AdoptOpenJDK 11 and GraalVM 17.

Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "jME3 Main"

I’m using Gradle and the build scripts are all similar to this one:

After the update, I couldn’t find any lwjgl-xxxx-3.3.0-natives-xxxx.jar files inside ~/.gradle.
These do exist for previous LWJGL versions (3.2.3).
The 3.3.0 files are downloaded when I add the dependencies manually, e.g.:

runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl:3.3.0:natives-linux"
runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-glfw:3.3.0:natives-linux"
runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-opengl:3.3.0:natives-linux"
runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-openal:3.3.0:natives-linux"
runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-jemalloc:3.3.0:natives-linux"

I see the actual *.so files are extracted to some directory in /tmp.
This works for Linux and Windows and the program runs without issues so far.

Updating to previous versions was a breeze and only included changing the jme-version string defined in the Gradle script. But since the error seems obvious and you don’t seem to encounter the same, I assume the issue lies in my Gradle script or maybe the Gradle version (6.1).
Any hints?
