Upgrade Gradle from v5.5.1 to 7.3+ #469

Eclipse are likely to mandate Java 17 going forwards for releases 2023-06 and beyond. They have began to ship packages compiled with Java 17 ahead of this. In order to support Java 17 we must move to a supported version of Gradle. 7.3 is the first version to support Java 17, though ideally 7.6 is the latest version available

@BillyD73 does https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty-tools/pull/470 fix this issue?

BillyD73 commented 1 year ago

@mattcolegate Yes it does, I believe we have seen this successfully working in tests now
