Description

Newly created Gradle Web Application projects have by default an empty context path in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/context.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path=""/>

I think it would be better to use the project name prepended with a slash.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/project-name"/>

This is more consistent with the analogous maven web application project and moreover it is a saner default when multiple projects are deployed on the same application server.
