Bug#873227: Please upgrade to 4.1: Java 9 support

[tony mancill]

Hi Tiago,

Thank you for the patch!  This resolves several FTBFS problems related
to Gradle-based builds in conjunction with openjdk-9 (or at least helps
us get to the next cause for the build failure).

I'm going to upload to experimental momentarily and ask others on the
Java Team if there any concern about uploading Gradle 3.4 to unstable.

As a general note, because gradle depends upon itself and the version
prior to this patch will not build on JDK 9, you have to to a bit of
bootstrapping to build a binary including this patch.  I did this by
starting with a clean sid chroot and installing java-common_0.59 and the
openjdk-8 packages.  The resulting gradle packages can then be used on
testing and sid.

Cheers,
tony
