Gradle build

[jburel]

Build application using gradle
By default 5.2.1 version is used. This is the version currently used in the various gradle projects.

Overall, looks very nice. A few stylistic comments about the JSON file.

Do you have a shortlist of the candidate repositories for rolling this template over? Have you pretested it on a few of them already?

[sbesson]

As per https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/learn-github-actions/sharing-workflows-with-your-organization#creating-a-workflow-template:

• proposing to add Gradle and/or Java as the Categories - see https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml
• can we make assumptions about the filePatterns e.g. build.gradle or *.gradle in the top-level folder?
  filePatterns

[jburel]

build.gradle is in the top-level folder of our repositories.

[jburel]

added Categories and filePatterns

I have tested it on https://github.com/jburel/omero-model/actions/runs/366626900
This will be applied to most of the repositories created when we decoupled openmicroscopy.
A couple will require some adjustments e.g. omero-blitz

[sbesson]

Other Gradle repos I am aware of are:

• bio-formats-examples
• minimal-omero-client
• omero-gradle-plugins

I can have a go at testing the two first ones next week. Unsure whether the latter will need a separate logic

[jburel]

I was considering omero-gradle-plugins as part of the decoupled effort, I have been looking at the repo for other purpose i.e. upgrading gradle

I will check example repo today

[jburel]

minimal-omero-client: a Dockerfile is used to run gradle build

[jburel]

For bio-formats-example: we have a combination of Java version and there is windows attempt.
Both cases are covered by the template

[sbesson]

Thanks for the changes. Happy for this to be added to the templates as it is and start rolling it over to the various Gradle repositories unless @joshmoore thinks of something else.

[joshmoore]

Looks good. There may still be some repositories with wrapper logic and/or hard-coded versions in various repos that don't like being told what version to use, but we can deal with those by stripping out those assumptions. 👍
