Fails to build with gradle-5.6

Gatk builds with whatever version of gradle it claims to build against, currently 5.4.1. We don't generally support other versions. However, I just tested locally using gradle 5.6 and it worked fine.

I suspect there is probably some other issue with the way you are building it. Are you trying to build it in an offline mode somehow? It looks like maybe you're trying to use a tarball to provide the dependencies instead of letting gradle resolve them for you? I would look into that as a possible cause of problems.

I'm submitting a pr to bump to 5.6 in case that will help.

@yurivict Gatk has now been updated to use gradle 5.6 as it's default build.

I'm going to close this since we've update to 5.6. Feel free to reopen if you continue to have issues with it.
