Description of the Change
Alternate Designs
I considered not changing the version, however there are issues with versions of the JVM later than 8. I tested with OpenJDK 11 (11.0.2) which results in the error
which points to the error gradle/gradle#4503 and suggests upgrading the gradle version.
Possible Drawbacks
There is a possibility that newer gradle versions introduce different bugs but at present all tests run and gradle works fine when the project and gradle JDKs are set to 11
Release Notes
Upgrade gradle from 4.0.0 to 5.2.1
