@Ao-senXiong , thank you for your contributions. I have a few comments on this pull request:

1. I see warnings from deprecated Gradle API. I think you can safely remove jcenter(). I also can see a reference to JavaPluginConvention which is also producing a couple of warnings. Can you investigate where this is being used?
2. for SymbolicStringBuilder, can you please explain why you need java.lang.ref.Cleaner for Java 11 support?

1, I think we need to investigate on gradle 9.0 deprecation in another PR. This PR is more on Java API deprecation. For your question 2 for SymbolicStringBuilder, can you please explain why you need java.lang.ref.Cleaner for Java 11 support?, because _finalize method is deprecated since Java 9. So it is need to use the cleanner.

1. it would be nice to fix these gradle warning if possible, you have already done some of that, right?
2. the usage of cleaner needs some fixes. I think you should capture the Cleanable from the register method, then invoke cleanable.clean() in the place where the _finalize() is right now. That way you've actually invoked the cleaning whenever the _finalize is invoked
