chetanmeh opened a new pull request #4567: Update Gradle to 5.5 version
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/4567
 
 
   Updates Gradle to 5.5 version and also updates Gradle Scoverage plugin to 3.1.5
   
   ## Description
   
   For enabling running and building on JDK 11 (#4217) we need to move to Gradle 5.x version which officially supports JDK 11. In doing so we would need to update the [Gradle Scoverage](https://github.com/scoverage/gradle-scoverage) plugin to 3.1.5 as existing version was not compatible
   
   ### Benefits
   
   1. Enables building on JDK 11
   2. Gradle 5.x has better support for Maven publishing. We would now be needing that to publish the standalone jar
   
   ### Scoverage Version Impact
   
   Newer soverage plugin has a different model of working and does not produce a jar of instrumented classes which impacts our logic for coverage collection for code running within container (#3685). To make it work we now copy the instrumented classes within container and remove existing packaged jars from the lib
