Update several dependencies

[cherylking]

Need to update several dependencies:

• Update from 1.7.0.Alpha13 to 1.7.0.Alpha14 for org.jboss.arquillian:arquillian-bom
• Update from 6.13.1 to 7.5.1 for org.testng:testng
• Update from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 for arquillian-liberty-managed-jakarta and arquillian-liberty-remote-jakarta

In addition to the builds failing with an slf4j related error, the update in TestNG dependency version also seems to break running with Java 8 (see here).

Just confirmed on this page the following Java requirements:

Requirements
TestNG Upto v7.5: JDK 8 or higher.

TestNG v7.6.0 and above: JDK 11 or higher.

@tevans78 I assume you will also have this issue with running 7.7.1 with Java 8.

In addition to the builds failing with an slf4j related error,

It looks like 7.7 has a dependency in the pom.xml that does not exist in 6.13.1.

@tevans78 Any idea how I should proceed? The update to the TestNG dependency version breaks running with Java 8, and fails when running with Java 11 and 17 due to an unsatisfied dependency on slf4j.

We are going to need the change ported to 7.5 stream and a 7.5.1 version created it would seem. As to the slf4j, you will need to add slf4j dependencies in your pom.xml.

We are going to need the change ported to 7.5 stream and a 7.5.1 version created it would seem.

@jhanders34 Do you know which change that went into 7.7.0 needs to be ported to the 7.5 stream? I want to track its progress or raise it as an issue if it hasn't been yet.

[cherylking]

Think I found the relevant TestNG PR here. Someone already asked for it to be ported to 7.5. I added a comment supporting that request.

[tevans78]

Ah, this is annoying, I hadn't spotted the Java 11 requirement. Looking at the original testng repo and some of the comments in the PR, it does not look like they will be particularly quick to patch older versions. We might have to create our own fork and create our own 7.5 service branch where we can apply the fix. Fortunately the change looks pretty simple.

[cherylking]

Updating here that a 7.5.1 of TestNG has been published with the needed fix. That should resolve the Java 8 issue I was having. Will update this PR with that version of TestNG.

Could not update to use the 23.0.0.3 runtime since there is no wlp-webProfile9 available. Need to make that change when the tests are updated to use EE 10. Opened issue #27 for that.
