[Weekly Developer Meeting] - 2025-09-24

[James Fredley <ja...@apache.org>]

We meet every week via a google meeting. The times alternate each
week to encourage attendance from multiple time zones. Each week we
will provide a summary here to facilitate historical preservation &
further discussion. If you would like to join this meeting, you can

Gradle Composition / Plugin refactoring
currently we use composition based approach by including gradle files
proposal: move to gradle plugins, defined in grails-gradle/buildSrc, 
then use them in each subsequent project
benefits: stop duplicating gradle files between grails-gradle, 
grails-core, & grails-forge
better isolation since project specific information does not have to be 
encoded (see notes about cross-project configuration in gradle docs)
recommended way by gradle to share common configuration:
