Eclipse buildship <-> BSP Integration : Delegate to BSP to execute tasks

[Sidhaarthsr]

• Currently buildship directly communicates with the Gradle Daemon. So we need to include the necessary dependencies to integrate with Gradle BSP to run all Gradle Ops.
• Delegate to BSP to execute tasks.

Expected Behavior

• We'll be able to reference all the classes in BSP Gradle repository from buildship
• Buildship will start using BSP functionalities to orchestrate BSP related tasks instead of directly communicating with the Gradle Daemon.

Context

• BSP integration reduces code complexity of buildship since all existing Gradle code will be removed
• Gradle Task executions in Gradle will completely be orchestrated through BSP Gradle.

It would be helpful to have a setting to choose between the traditional Buildship implementation and the new Gradle Buildserver integration for some time - as in VSCode (java.gradle.buildServer.enabled=on/off).

Users of Eclipse Buildship need some time to update their Eclipse installation and to check the compatibility of their projects with the BSP implementation.

Hi @oleosterhagen, Thanks for pointing that out. That's the plan for current implementation. We'll have the option to toggle between legacy and Build Server modes with a flag.
