Support for Java 17 or 21 seems to be broken.

[underscore05]

          Hi @dnalborczyk ,

support has been added, but is dysfunctional. Technically serverless-offline allows you to specify java17 as runtime, but

1. serverless-offline depends on serverless-toolkit (4 years unmaintained package), where java-invoke-local / serverless.jvm.plugin depends on Groovy 2.5.9, which is incompatible with Java 17. First version to be compatible with Java 17 is Groovy 3.0.8. You get following error when running serverless offline

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Ignoring option --illegal-access=deny; support was removed in 17.0

2. When setting useDocker directive to true, an error for missing Docker image lambci/lambda:java17 is thrown: No valid trust data for java17. There is no reasonable expectation for image to be added, since serverless-offline relies on a deprecated project lambci/docker-lambda

I think this ticket should be re-opened.

Thank you
