Upgrade to Gradle 4.8(.1) [SPR-16475]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-16475 and commented

Gradle 4.5 is out in the meantime, with even a 4.5.1 maintenance release available already... and now Gradle 4.6 goes RC, so we should go straight to that one.

Update: Gradle 4.7 is out now. Maybe we'll even get Gradle 4.8 in time for our 5.1 RC1...

A line from our spring-beans.gradle file turns out to break against Gradle 4.5:

compileGroovy.dependsOn = compileGroovy.taskDependencies.values - 'compileJava'

Sam Brannen, thanks for your efforts there! Since master is on Gradle 4.8 now, including all of Gradle's JDK 10 related changes already, I consider this good enough for our Spring Framework 5.1 RC1 in July... just possibly upgrading to Gradle 4.8.1 (if any) in the course of this ticket still.

Let's use a separate ticket for any further major Gradle upgrades, individually scheduled for 5.1.x or 5.2.

Sounds like a good plan!

I'm guessing you mean locally, but... OK. ;-)
