As discussed on #gtfs-validators, the command ./gradlew aggregateJavadocJar hangs indefinitely for me and seemingly for others as well. This task is executed automatically as part of a ./gradlew build call.

Interestingly, aggregateJavadoc runs successfully for me and it's only the jar phase that hangs. When run the jar step specifically, I see that gtfs-validator-4.1.1-SNAPSHOT-javadoc.jar is being generated... and it's gigantic. Multiple GBs and it will keep on growing if you let the command continue to run. So looks like the task is stuck in some sort of loop where it's attempting to create a never-ending jar file.

This looks similar to this issue: freefair/gradle-plugins#640 which unfortunately has no responses.

This is on the master branch with MacOS and openjdk 11.0.19 2023-04-18 LTS.
