Solidity plugin fails on Gradle 8.x

Solidity plugin fails to configure on Gradle 8.x

The solidity plugin uses deprecated Gradle plugin class SourceDirectorySetFactory which has been removed in Gradle 8.x. Created the PR #56 to fix the issue.

Need release of solidity plugin with the fix so that it is useable with Gradle 8.x based projects.

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.web3j.solidity', version: '0.3.5']
> Failed to apply plugin 'org.web3j.solidity'.
   > Could not create plugin of type 'SolidityPlugin'.
      > Could not generate a decorated class for type SolidityPlugin.

Plz can some one confirm if latest release web3j-solidity-gradle-plugin v0.5.0 fixes this?

Greetings @NickSneo !
Currently we are experiencing some deviations between config examples of the plugin and the behaviour. We summarized them in this issue. Would be amazing if we get some responses, thanks

I think this issue can be closed. We're able to use the 0.5.0 plugin now with 8.x
