XmlBeans gradle migration

[Andreas Beeker <ki...@apache.org>]

Hi Devs,

I'm currently migrating XmlBeans to gradle:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlbeans/branches/gradle-build
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1896456

Up till now the migration contains the following changes:
* activate most of the Tests - the ant build runs only on **/*Test(s).java
* fix InterfaceExtensions
* to handle inherited methods for InterfaceExtensions, I've added the JavaParser solver artifact.
    the transitive dependencies need to be adjusted, because most/all dependencies aren't necessary ...
    maybe it would make sense to add a special gradle configuration which users can depend on, if they use InterfaceExtensions
* I've imported and annotated the w3c dom tests from the w3c_domts.jar to src/test/java.
    There were already @ignored Test mainly because of missing XmlBeans functionality.
    The W3C tests are under the W3C license, which is ASF compatible and therefore inclusion/adaption is not an issue.

What's missing:
* a few tests need to be fixed. There is one strange case with scomp.elements.detailed.GlobalElt... which failed when executed without debugger but suddenly worked when inspected ...
* javadoc, bin/src-release, rat, forbiddenapis ...

Although I guess no-one intents to, but please don't make structural changes to trunk, i.e. move directories, as this makes merging the branch back more difficult.

Best wishes,
Andi

After having to manually build an Eclipse project for XmlBeans in order to
check compilation warnings for my first patch proposal, I thought maybe my
next one could be a Maven based build, personal preference not to use
Gradle since many Linux distributions (I use Fedora) are having a lot of
problems with packaging packages based on Gradle.

But anyways, having a modern build that has tools to be imported on IDEs is
great, coding my patch I found many instances of methods, local variables
not being used, etc that javac doesn't mention.
