Description

On the purpose of preparing the future upgrades of Gradle wrapper, we need to get ride of the deprecated  calls of certains methods as tasks registrations, this will make the future upgrades to Gradle 9 where plenty of methods are marked for removal for this future big release, that will for sure brings support for JDK 21

 

Running Gradle build with --warning-mode all reveals much warnings and much deprecations for removal, and we have to be prepared from now to the future changes 

 

 

This is an example of deprecation warning 

 

Build file '/Users/bmscomp/codes/kafka/build.gradle': line 3116
The org.gradle.api.plugins.Convention type has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 9.0. Consult the upgrading guide for further information: https://docs.gradle.org/8.2.1/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_access_to_conventions
