[Slackbuilds-users] Gradle version upgrade

[Vladimir Nikishkin]

Gradle 5.5.1 is very old, I suspect that it is that old because it is
the last version which was used with a systemwide installation.

Nowadays most projects use Gradle through the "gradle wrapper",
gradlew/gradlew.bat, so I suggest looking into that. It might fit you
better.
