I'm following a tutorial on LWJGL and I'm trying to run the project with gradle 7.6 and Java JDK 19. I'm getting the error log

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

[LWJGL] Failed to load a library. Possible solutions:

    b) Add the JAR that contains the shared library to the classpath.
[LWJGL] Enable debug mode with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true for better diagnostics.

I've tried every solution I saw online, from updating my Intellij IDE, updating the gradle and JDK versions, updating my JRE. Invalidating caches. I'm really at a dead end here. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

You don't mention what steps you followed to build the project, nor can we see your build.gradle file or the project's structure, but it looks like you tried to manually do some things, unsuccessfully.

In any case, the LWJGL website provides a configurator that simplifies the whole process.

If you want to use Gradle, choose the "Gradle" mode in the generator. This will result in a portion of a build.gradle script containing dependency declarations for all selected modules and platforms, which you can copy/paste into your build.gradle file and use it to build your project.

Note that when using Gradle, you probably want to prepend apply plugin: 'java' and apply plugin: 'application' to the build.gradle file.

Following the above should result in a successful build in IntelliJ, but if not, you can try a custom configuration, following the instructions below (as indicated on LWJGL-Wiki):

1. Go to the configurator's page, select Zip Bundle, review the options and choose the bindings you're interested in, then click on DOWNLOAD ZIP.
2. When the download is complete, extract its contents into your project.
3. In IntelliJ, go to Project Structure > Libraries > New Project Library. Add all LWJGL .jar files (classes natives) to the library and add the library as a dependency to your project module(s). You do not need to extract the native libraries.
4. If you also downloaded the sources, add the corresponding .jar files as sources to the LWJGL library. You do not need to download and attach the javadoc .jar files, IntelliJ generates javadoc directly from sources.

The problem was with an error being incorrectly thrown. It had nothing to do with LWJGL or Gradle.
