Child process exited with code 1 LibGDX jPackageImage task - gradle

Question

I am using jpackage to convert my libgdx game to an executable file. I am following this tutorial to do so. The jpackageImage task works perfectly fine but when the exe is created and I run it, it doesn't run but rather gives me an error: Child process exited with code 1 I am unaware what is causing this.
I am on windows 11 and im using JDK 18.0.1.1.
The JDK is set to JAVA_HOME which is set to the correct PATH.
I am using Badass-Runtime plugin as well which is defined in the first line of my build.gradle file.
Here is my build.gradle file for desktop:
plugins { id 'org.beryx.runtime' version '1.8.4' }
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs = ["src/"]
sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs = ["../core/assets"]
mainClassName = "com.mygdx.game.desktop.DesktopLauncher"
def osName = System.getProperty('os.name').toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT)
project.ext.assetsDir = new File("../core/assets")
task runGame(dependsOn: classes, type: JavaExec) {
main = project.mainClassName
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
standardInput = System.in
workingDir = project.assetsDir
ignoreExitValue = true
}
task debug(dependsOn: classes, type: JavaExec) {
main = project.mainClassName
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
standardInput = System.in
workingDir = project.assetsDir
ignoreExitValue = true
debug = true
}
task dist(type: Jar) {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': project.mainClassName
}
dependsOn configurations.runtimeClasspath
from {
configurations.runtimeClasspath.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
with jar
destinationDirectory = file("$buildDir/lib")
}
jpackageImage.dependsOn dist
dist.dependsOn classes
eclipse.project.name = appName + "-desktop"
runtime {
options = ['--strip-debug',
'--compress', '2',
'--no-header-files',
'--no-man-pages',
'--strip-native-commands',
'--vm', 'server']
modules = ['java.base',
'java.desktop',
'jdk.unsupported']
distDir = file(buildDir)
jpackage {
jpackageHome = 'C:\\Users\\pc\\.jdks\\openjdk-18.0.1.1'
mainJar = dist.archiveFileName.get()
if (osName.contains('windows')) {
imageOptions = ["--icon", file("../icons/icon.ico")]
} else if (osName.contains('linux')) {
imageOptions = ["--icon", file("../icons/icon.png")]
} else if (osName.contains('mac')) {
imageOptions = ["--icon", file("../icons/icon.icns")]
}
}
}

Is it this bug? bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284067 which triggers because your code exits with 1. Try doing with System.exit(0); , there is a workaround listed as well.
