Support for Gradle 9 (Experimental / Information sharing)

[hiro345g]

Hi @bmuschko,

I wanted to share that I have implemented Gradle 9 support in my fork:
https://github.com/hiro345g/gradle-cargo-2026-plugin/tree/gradle9

Key points of this fork:

• The implementation is available in the gradle9 branch.
• It involves significant refactoring to comply with Gradle 9 APIs.
• Due to these changes, support for Gradle 6, 7, and 8 has been dropped.

Current Status & Plan:

I am currently testing this version in my local environment to ensure stability. Once it is well-verified, I intend to publish it to Maven Central (using my own group ID) to make it available for the community, though this may take some time as I am new to the publishing process.

I’m sharing this primarily as information for anyone looking for Gradle 9 compatibility. If you are interested in incorporating these changes into the official repository in the future, please feel free to reference or use the code.

Thanks for maintaining this great plugin!

Updated Fork for personal use, now available for Gradle 9 and Jakarta EE

Hi @bmuschko,

I've developed a fork of this plugin, gradle-cargo-2026-plugin, mainly for my own projects that required Gradle 9 and Jakarta EE support. Since I've successfully published it to Maven Central for my use, I wanted to share it here in case it helps anyone else facing similar compatibility issues.

In this version, I have implemented the following updates:

• Gradle 9.x Compatibility: Fixed task dependency and property handling issues to support the latest Gradle versions.
• Jakarta EE / Tomcat 10+ Support: Updated to work with modern web containers.
• Published to Maven Central: Available at io.github.hiro345g:gradle-cargo-2026.

Artifacts:

• Maven Central: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.hiro345g/gradle-cargo-2026-plugin
• GitHub Repository: https://github.com/hiro345g/gradle-cargo-2026-plugin

I’ll be using this for my own work, but I hope it proves useful to others in the community as well. Thank you for the original plugin!

Best regards.
