@damithc Hi prof, there seems to be some PRs going on here for upgrading different tools. Some seems to be pre-requisites of upgrading Java (e.g., this upgrade of gradle to 7.4.2). Do you want to merge them?

By the way, the app seems able to run when I simply change to Java 17. 😅

Thanks for the PR @yhtMinceraft1010X and thanks for the reminder @fans2619

@yhtMinceraft1010X I assume all the changes in this commit are interrelated and cannot be done as multiple independent steps (and hence, multiple commits)?

@se-edu/tech-team-level1 for your review please

I performed the upgrade process separately, following instructions in https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/upgrading_version_5.html and https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/upgrading_version_6.html to perform the necessary checks. The properties updated in this PR are the only ones I found necessary as well.

Not sure how @yhtMinceraft1010X performed the upgrades, for myself I ran gradle wrapper --gradle-version 6.9.2 and gradle wrapper --gradle-version 7.4.2. Several gradle wrapper scripts and jars have been updated as well, which were not included in this PR. See my branch for the details.

I can confirm that it is necessary to bump Gradle Shadow together with Gradle, due to deprecations and some incompatibilities I have outlined in my commits.

I assume all the changes in this commit are interrelated and cannot be done as multiple independent steps (and hence, multiple commits)?

The only question is whether to bump Gradle directly to v7 or perform the upgrade step by step and commit them separately.

[damithc]

@yhtMinceraft1010X and others, what do you guys think? Do the 'full' upgrade in two steps as @kouyk mentioned or do a minimal one-step upgrade as done in this PR? What are the pros and cons?

[yhtMinceraft1010X]

I tried running gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.4.2 again and there were some additional changes with respect to the wrapper scripts and the jar file.

I've squashed them into the same commit.

The gradle guides suggest running the upgrades separately and following that, I think it makes sense to commit the changes separately as well. One pro of this would be might be easier to track any regressions down the line, though it will be unlikely.
