Gradle plugin 7.4.1 class cast exception on nonProxyHosts

[alfred-thomas]

I am using JDK 17 and Gradle 7.6 with DependencyCheck 7.4.1. We set nonProxyHosts with the following:
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.xyz.com|localhost|

dependencyCheckAnalyze then fails with:
.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object '*.xyz.com|localhost|' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'java.util.List'

Full stacktrace
