Gradle plugin: "Cannot cast object" error when JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS with proxy settings is defined

[ldrag]

Hi, I have encountered an issue when using dependency-check-gradle plugin in version 7.4.1 with JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Define JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS env with value:
   "-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.my-domain.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.*|[::1]|*.my-domain.com"
2. Run gradle dependencyCheckAnalyze

This results in the following error:

> Task :dependencyCheckAnalyze FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dependencyCheckAnalyze'.
> Cannot cast object 'localhost|127.*|[::1]|*.my-domain.com' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'java.util.List'

What is interesting is that if I e.g. remove Dhttps.proxyHost and leave https.proxyPort and http.nonProxyHosts settings all seems to work fine.

I would appreciate if someone could have a look at the issue.

Will be fixed with 7.4.2 which should be released shortly. See dependency-check/dependency-check-gradle#298
