As with the fix for [JDK-8327255](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327255), we define three new properties to enable `-Werror`, one for each type of java compilation task: sdk classes, test classes (including shims), and tool classes (including JSLC). The defaults for `-Werror` for these three groups are:

That warning is generated because we (necessarily) use `--source 21` instead of `--release 21` for the Swing module, and don't set the location of the system modules.

introduced a javadoc problem and the build failed:


error: warnings found and -Werror specified
1 error
1 warning

> Task :javadoc FAILED


one minor comment.

build.gradle line 2270:

> 2268:     project.ext.moduleName = "javafx.graphics"
> 2269:

perhaps refer to https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334161 as well here?
