Improve README and GitPod config #3192

Closed GCHQDeveloper314 closed 5 months ago

GCHQDeveloper314 commented 5 months ago

Describe the enhancement you'd like Improvement to the configuration for the GitPod remote coding environment to enable Maven dependency caching (included by default for codespaces) and tidy up tasks to ensure they work correctly.

Improvement to the main README to make it clear that these environments are the easiest way to contribute and also add more information on compatible Java versions.

Why do you want this enhancement? It will be clearer to potential contributors how to spin up a development environment which works out of the box. Information on the compatible Java versions will avoid any confusion and errors associated with contributors trying to use incompatible versions.
