TAP5-2809: Fix Javadoc errors
> Improve/Fix Gradle Setup
> ------------------------
>
> Key: TAP5-2809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2809
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 5.9.1
> Reporter: Ben Weidig
> Assignee: Ben Weidig
> Priority: Major
>
> The current Gradle setup has multiple issues:
> * Pre-Java 8 remnants
> * Incomplete upgrade to JUnit 5
> * Incorrect testng.xml
> * Misaligned dependency version between projects
>
> To improve the situation, I suggest:
> * Remove all pre-Java 8 options
> * Create Gradle conventions for
> ** Subproject setup
> ** JUnit 5 (+Spock)
> ** TestNG (and move testng.xml to default locations)
> ** JUnit 4 for legacy reasons
> * Introducing version catalogs for shared dependencies and a consistent
> declaration of module-specific dependencies.
>
> In a second step, more tasks, like Javadoc-related tasks or publishing, could
> be done with conventions or build plugins, to make them easier to use and
> maintain.
> The overall risk is breaking the build and breaking changes for Tapestry
> users if a dependency is no longer exposed.
> However, choosing the right configuration so as not to accidentally export
> dependencies is more critical, and the error messages should clearly state
> why a build is no longer working.
