Like Spring Boot, but for Gradle; i.e. Gradle Boot

A collection of experiments to reduce friction with Gradle:

• [x] JVM-less / Native Gradle Wrapper that is SCM-friendly
• [x] Easy IDE Launcher (Double-click graboo or graboo ide)
• [x] Project initializer: CLI graboo new and Web graboo.dev
• [x] Out-of-the box typed dependency references via Universe Version Catalog

• [x] Declarative-like, Developer-oriented Build Definitions (the common things shouldn't need to be specified) Example:

    boot.springApp {
        jvmVersion = 17
        kotlin = true
  
        dependencies {
            implementation(universe.spring.boot.starter.webflux)
        }
    }
  

• [ ] CLI-based common tasks like adding dependencies, refactoring from single-module to multi-module projects Example:

    ./graboo dep ktor-client
  

• [ ] Interactive build shell
• [ ] Auto main discovery
