Description

In testing OFBiz with a new version of gradle, I identified a potential problem. The rule based tasks such as "ofbiz --test" will not work in versions 5 and above. The exact error message that I received is:

The task name 'ofbiz --test' contains at least one of the following characters: [ , /, \, :, <, >, ", ?, *, |]. This has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0.

In other words, spaces are not allowed. We need to find an alternative solution.
