This PR transforms the repository into a comprehensive Java multi-module template using Gradle with Kotlin DSL, buildSrc, and modern project structure as requested.

What's Added

Project Structure:

  • buildSrc/ - Centralized build logic with Kotlin DSL plugins
  • gradle/wrapper/ - Gradle wrapper files (version 8.5)
  • gradle/libs.versions.toml - Version catalog for dependency management
  • modules/ - Multi-module architecture with core and api modules
  • src/ - Main application entry point

Build System:

  • Gradle Kotlin DSL throughout (all .gradle.kts files)
  • java-common.gradle.kts plugin in buildSrc for shared build logic
  • Version catalog setup for centralized dependency management
  • Java 17 compatibility across all modules

Sample Implementation:

  • Core module: Business logic with CoreService class
  • API module: External interfaces with ApiController that depends on core
  • Main application: Entry point demonstrating module interaction
  • Professional logging setup with SLF4J + Logback
  • Comprehensive JUnit 5 tests for all modules

Development Experience:

  • Type-safe project accessors enabled
  • Professional .gitignore for Java/Gradle projects
  • Comprehensive README with usage instructions
  • All modules build, test, and run successfully

Verification

The template is fully functional:

./gradlew clean build  # ✅ Builds all modules successfully
./gradlew test         # ✅ All tests pass
./gradlew run          # ✅ Application runs with proper logging

This provides a solid foundation for Java projects with modern tooling, clear separation of concerns, and professional project organization.
