Gradle PreferencesFX does something weird

I want to use PreferencesFX in a project with gradle. So I created a little demo application to test it. This is my whole controller to test PreferencesFX: 
package com.example.uitests;

import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.PreferencesFx;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Category;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Group;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Setting;
import javafx.beans.property.IntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;

public class HelloController {
    @FXML
    private Label welcomeText;
    private StringProperty test = new SimpleStringProperty();
    private IntegerProperty test2 = new SimpleIntegerProperty();

    @FXML
    protected void onHelloButtonClick() {
        welcomeText.setText("Welcome to JavaFX Application!");
        PreferencesFx prefs = PreferencesFx.of(Preferences.class,
                Category.of("Test",
                        Group.of("Test",
                                Setting.of("Test", test)),
                        Group.of("Test2",
                                Setting.of("Test2", test2))));
        prefs.show(true);
    }
}
package com.example.uitests;

import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.PreferencesFx;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Category;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Group;
import com.dlsc.preferencesfx.model.Setting;
import javafx.beans.property.IntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;

public class HelloController {
    @FXML
    private Label welcomeText;
    private StringProperty test = new SimpleStringProperty();
    private IntegerProperty test2 = new SimpleIntegerProperty();

    @FXML
    protected void onHelloButtonClick() {
        welcomeText.setText("Welcome to JavaFX Application!");
        PreferencesFx prefs = PreferencesFx.of(Preferences.class,
                Category.of("Test",
                        Group.of("Test",
                                Setting.of("Test", test)),
                        Group.of("Test2",
                                Setting.of("Test2", test2))));
        prefs.show(true);
    }
}
If I try to run it, I get the following error: 
> Task :HelloApplication.main() FAILED
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module gson not found, required by com.dlsc.preferencesfx

Execution failed for task ':HelloApplication.main()'.

This is my whole build.gradle: 
plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'application'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.13'
    id 'org.beryx.jlink' version '2.25.0'
}

group 'com.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

ext {
    junitVersion = '5.9.2'
}

sourceCompatibility = '11='
targetCompatibility = '11'

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    options.encoding = 'UTF-8'
}

application {
    mainModule = 'com.example.jfxmoderntest'
    mainClass = 'com.example.jfxmoderntest.HelloApplication'
}

javafx {
    version = '17.0.2'
    modules = ['javafx.controls', 'javafx.fxml']
}

dependencies {
    implementation('com.dlsc.preferencesfx:preferencesfx-core:11.8.0')

    testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:${junitVersion}")
    testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:${junitVersion}")
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

jlink {
    imageZip = project.file("${buildDir}/distributions/app-${javafx.platform.classifier}.zip")
    options = ['--strip-debug', '--compress', '2', '--no-header-files', '--no-man-pages']
    launcher {
        name = 'app'
    }
}

jlinkZip {
    group = 'distribution'
}
plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'application'
    id 'org.openjfx.javafxplugin' version '0.0.13'
    id 'org.beryx.jlink' version '2.25.0'
}

group 'com.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

ext {
    junitVersion = '5.9.2'
}

sourceCompatibility = '11='
targetCompatibility = '11'

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    options.encoding = 'UTF-8'
}

application {
    mainModule = 'com.example.jfxmoderntest'
    mainClass = 'com.example.jfxmoderntest.HelloApplication'
}

javafx {
    version = '17.0.2'
    modules = ['javafx.controls', 'javafx.fxml']

dependencies {
    implementation('com.dlsc.preferencesfx:preferencesfx-core:11.8.0')

    testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:${junitVersion}")
    testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:${junitVersion}")
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

jlink {
    imageZip = project.file("${buildDir}/distributions/app-${javafx.platform.classifier}.zip")
    options = ['--strip-debug', '--compress', '2', '--no-header-files', '--no-man-pages']
    launcher {
        name = 'app'
    }
}

jlinkZip {
    group = 'distribution'
}
I know that PreferencesFX tells you to use the following to add it as a dependency: 
dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.dlsc.preferencesfx', name: 'preferencesfx-core', version: '11.8.0'
}
dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.dlsc.preferencesfx', name: 'preferencesfx-core', version: '11.8.0'
}
But compile is deprecated and no longer available. What construct should I use to replace it, or what would be the correct way to do this? My module-info.java:
module com.example.uitest {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.fxml;

    requires com.dlsc.preferencesfx;

    opens com.example.uitest to javafx.fxml;
    exports com.example.uitest;
}
module com.example.uitest {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.fxml;

    requires com.dlsc.preferencesfx;

    opens com.example.uitest to javafx.fxml;
    exports com.example.uitest;
}
