Hello Everyone,

I just received some good news from Mathieu Lirzin (Thank you Mathieu)
on the state of Gradle. Essentially, we were worried about gradle
deprecating spaces used in task names which led to problems in issuing
our standard server commands [1]. Thankfully, it seems this issue is
resolved, the gradle folks seem to have changed their minds and we can
continue as usual.

Therefore, I recommend we upgrade gradle to version 5. It is a lot
faster for loading (it runs parallel processes for downloading
dependencies) and it is also more compatible with newer versions of
Java.

Hi Taher

I'm all for it. I have also updated the version and it seems to be working
just fine in my workspace.

Just a very minor caveat I noticed with the upgrade is that you don't see
what all tasks gradle executed, while the earlier versions showed the
executed tasks and their corresponding output.

With the newer version you see -  Build Successful on the terminal. More
often than not we are not going to be bothered by this, but having it
display the executed tasks helps debugging, I feel.

Here's

the
solution that worked for me.

Best,
Girish
