Gradle plugin

[nandorholozsnyak]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The project started with a Maven plugin and nowadays it is just not feasible to have a plugin for one build management tool, and from experience I think Maven is the more used tool for Java based projects but Gradle is also keeping up and we see a lot of Spring Boot projects with Gradle nowadays so it is a must to create a Gradle plugin for the tool.

Describe the solution you'd like A Gradle plugin that mitigate the same functionalities as the Maven plugin. Please read the Maven plugin documentation for the already existing features/commands/goals.

Hello @tkhadir ,

Thank you for your interest, I'm still searching spare time for this implementation, so if you have knowledge with creating a Gradle plugin, I'm down for an implementation.

Some requirements:

• As the project is built around a maven project it would be nice to have the Gradle plugin as a Maven module too.
• Resources, documentations about the publishing, as the project utilizes the JReleaser, I hope we can publish the Gradle plugin to the plugin repository easily.
• The plugin should be fully equivalent to the Maven plugin, so the same functionalities are required, with the same approach, please check the maven plugin code and documentation if you need more information about that.

Quick question: Where did you find the project? 😁

Hello @tkhadir

That is nice, thank you! If you start the implementation make sure to check the new release, a few new options are available for the Maven plugin, of course for an initial prototype not all needed, just to make sure you know how much effort you are taking over :D
