@authorjapps : Here are changes that are addressed in the PR

• JDK Compatibility: Tests run successfully with reports generated correctly. Minor tweaks were made to prevent test and build failures. However, JDK 9+ (JPMS) imposes stricter module boundaries, affecting reflection and class accessibility. Fully moving to higher JDKs will require updating or replacing legacy Reflection code for compatibility
• Jukito to Guice: Swapped Jukito for Guice to ensure compatibility with newer JDKs and ease future upgrades.
• Type Reference Fixes: Adjusted methods to handle stricter type enforcement in newer JDKs, preventing errors.
• Gson Optional Support: Added a custom TypeAdapter for java.util.Optional to enable proper JSON serialization/deserialization.
