Compatibility with Gradle 6.4

[ghost]

Gradle 6.4 now features support for Java modules and has changed the way how the name of the main class is defined in the application plugin:

application {
  mainModule.set("a.b")
  mainClass.set("a.b.C")
}

instead of

application {
  mainClassName = "a.b/a.b.C"
}

I suspect this is the reason why I am getting this NullPointerException when running the jlink task:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':jlink'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':jlink'.
