mlNewProject fails with JDK 12

[kcoleman-marklogic]

I was trying to use ml-gradle 3.14 with gradle v5.4.1 and Java 12.0.1 on RHEL 7. The mlNewProject task coughed up the following failure:

Execution failed for task ':mlNewProject'.
Unable to write file at: /home/kcoleman/.gradle/daemon/5.4.1/./src/main/ml-config/databases/content-database.json; cause: ./src/main/ml-config/databases/content-database.json (No such file or directory)

Rob thought it was the same issue as #428 and as such should already have been fixed. Maybe Java 12 has found new and interesting ways to torture users.

Stepping down to Java 9 made the problem go away. I'm fine with that, but wanted to let you know about the potential Java 12 wrinkle.

This may be a simple fix in ml-gradle - it's passing in "." as the project path, and I think that just needs to be resolved to a File first within Gradle so that it doesn't resolve against the daemon directory.

Just verified it works on Java 11 and fails on Java 12.
