Gradle integration with the Application Plugin

In Gradle it might be nice to integrate with the Application Plugin.

A similar project, com.bmuschko.docker-java-application, does this. This makes com.bmuschko.docker-java-application very convenient to use for java projects that are already using the Application Plugin.

Hi @devinrsmith , thanks for sharing the example. From what I see configurable on the Gradle application plugin, we can consider supporting automatic detection of the following configuration:

run.main/mainClassName - Jib can use as the container.mainClass run.jvmArgs/applicationDefaultJvmArgs - Jib can use as the container.jvmFlags run.args - Jib can use as the container.args run.environment - use as container.environment run.debug - true can have Jib automatically add debugging agentlib to java invocation run.minHeapSize/maxHeapSize - set -Xms/-Xmx run.systemProperties - can add as -D JVM flags

We’ll definitely need to look into this more and consider the side effects of automatically inferring these from the application plugin. @GoogleContainerTools/java-tools

Typically, we are looking for a general idea of the design, to avoid wasting the contributor’s time. The main specific concerns are 1) not breaking backwards compatibility to users, and 2) not adding new dependencies unless absolutely necessary.
