Support for Gradle configuration cache

[jprinet]

The Gradle configuration cache can't be enabled when using org.unbroken-dome.xjc Gradle plugin.

Quoting from the doc:

Gradle model types (e.g. Gradle, Settings, Project, SourceSet, Configuration etc…​) are usually used to carry some task input that should be explicitly and precisely declared instead.

Using a reference to the Configuration object is not supported:

gradle-xjc-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/unbrokendome/gradle/plugins/xjc/XjcGenerate.kt

Line 114 in 82c1d69

abstract val catalogResolutionClasspath: Property<Configuration>

catalogResolutionClasspath could be a ConfigurableFileCollection instead, which is supported by the configuration cache.

@eskatos thanks for your comment on this concerning making the plugin work with Gradle configuration cache

When you say this could be a ConfigurableFileCollection are you aware the MavenUriResolver feature does need an absolutePath to the JAR file, but it also needs the original Maven style GAV coordinate information such as org.groupId:artifactId:jar:classifier:1.2.3.4 as to the reason why that specific JAR file was selected.

So unfortunately this Property is not just a standard list of file: scheme URL JARs list

However good news, after surveying the landscape for solutions and understanding of the problem it appears @ryandens has successfully produced a clean commit (in the past month) that understands the feature of this plugin.

At this time and updated change-set https://github.com/dlmiles/gradle-xjc-plugin/tree/master is undergoing CI testing before being added to PR #47 (or its successor)
