Allow generation of build.gradle file

[thejeff77]

In order to package the generated code to prepare to publish as an artifact, a build.gradle file has to be created that can build the project as a *.jar file.

This is included for openapi generated clients for this reason.

Could support for generating a build.gradle file in the root destination directory be supported?

This is a build.gradle file that worked for me:

group 'com.missionlane'
version 'VERSION'

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.21'

    repositories {
        maven { url "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

repositories {
    maven { url "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2" }
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:$kotlin_version"

    // Below dependencies are solely present so code examples in the test resources dir compile
    implementation("javax.validation:validation-api:2.0.1.Final")
    implementation("jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api:3.0.2")
    // implementation("org.springframework:spring-webmvc:6.0.0")
    // implementation("org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:6.0.0")
    implementation("io.micronaut:micronaut-core:3.8.7")
    implementation("io.micronaut:micronaut-http:3.8.7")
    //testCompileOnly("io.micronaut.security:micronaut-security:3.8.7")
    implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.10.0")
    implementation("com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-core:0.48.2")
    implementation("com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-ruleset-standard:0.48.2")
    implementation("com.pinterest:ktlint:0.48.2")
    implementation("org.openapitools:jackson-databind-nullable:0.2.6")
    implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin:2.15.2")

}

As there are many different build tools for JVM, we have deliberately avoided adding gradle script, or otherwise, generation to save on the maintenance toil.

However, if you like we can accept an example gradle script for this that we link to from the README?

[thejeff77]

Yeah that would be just fine.
