Migrate to Gradle

Created by: TimvdLippe

Just tossing around the thought for improvement next year: migrate the framework (and template alike) to Gradle.

Why?

Running mvn site on the template, the jacoco report does not correctly generate code coverage for the framework. There are various solutions for that in Gradle, which do not exist in maven. Moreover, Gradle is usually easier to read and more maintainable as well as widely used in recent industry projects.

Regarding editor support: IntelliJ has nice integration for Gradle on every OS, just like it has for mvn.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
