buildkite: use VM with the installed tools #163

Closed v1v closed 4 months ago

v1v commented 4 months ago

What

Support custom VM images that contain the JDK17, gradle and the dependencies.
Remove runtime installations.
Use .java-version to store the current version based on major, as explained in https://github.com/actions/setup-java/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#java-version-file

Why

Stability and reliability.
Faster builds.

Follow-up

VM generation should be automatically recreated if the .java-version changes. Likely on a timer basis (daily)

Test

Triggering manually against this particular feature branch (for such, I use the snapshot one):

Snapshot build
Release build.
