Hello Team ,
I am trying to build logstash from source code from the main branch. It is failing with the following error:
```auto

Hi @tejas7,
Welcome to the community! Can you confirm followed the prerequisite steps before as outlined in [the documentation](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/main#developing-logstash-core)? Can you also confirm if you are running the build via cmd or a particular IDE?

Hi Carly,
I'm trying to build in a CentOS system.
I did follow the prerequisite steps and was able to install JDK 11, rake, bundler ruby version 2.6.0.
once i run the gradle command it is failing with the mentioned error
