0.7.0-alpha.6

[ajoberstar]

The big theme is improved editor/IDE support, with dependency "Jack-In" now supported by Clojurephant (will be working on sending PRs to Cider and Calva to take advantage of this). Also some cleanup of issues that caused problems in Intellij/Cursive and Eclipse.

Otherwise, trying to get up-to-date with the latest Gradle versions and best practices, including support for Gradle's configuration cache.

Breaking Changes

• Requires Gradle 6.4+ (drops support for Gradle 5)
• Implementation of clojure {} and clojurescript {} extensions changed to take advantage of Gradle decorating the types for DSL use. Our tests projects didn't require changes, but we don't have full coverage, so you could encounter some issues with mismatched property types.
• Removed ClojureBuild.getSourceSet() and ClojureScriptBuild.getSourceSet() due to incompatibility with Gradle's configuration cache Support Gradle's configuration cache #169
• Java test classes not on dev classpath (by default) Cleanup default classpaths for Clojure/ClojureScript and make them more configurable #173

Enhancements

• Updates default nrepl version to 0.9.0
• Updates templates to use Gradle 7.5
• Support Gradle's configuration cache Support Gradle's configuration cache #169
• Cleaner support (and documentation) for having Java code depend on Clojure code (see FAQ) Cleanup default classpaths for Clojure/ClojureScript and make them more configurable #173
• clojureRepl depends on fewer other tasks, meaning it should start up a smidge faster Cleanup default classpaths for Clojure/ClojureScript and make them more configurable #173
• Supports injecting dependencies into the nrepl classpath via -Pdev.clojurephant.jack-in.nrepl=dep1,dep2 (where dep* are the typical Gradle group:artifact:version notation) minor(cider): Support jack-in of dependencies #179

Fixes

• Improves experience (slightly) for tasks that use prepl (it will fail faster if the Clojure runtime fails to start) also it extends the timeout before it abandons startup to 30 seconds for larger projects (hopefully fixes Task clojureRepl fails due to race condition in PreplJava.client #161)
• Fixes a number of deprecation warnings on Gradle 6 and 7
• Handled AsynchronousCloseExceptions that could be triggered when any of the Clojure related tasks shut down Cleanup default classpaths for Clojure/ClojureScript and make them more configurable #173
• Fixed duplicate source dirs in Eclipse config Clojurephant does not work well with the eclipse plugin. #127
• Fixed source root detection in Intellij src/main/clojure doesn't appear to be a src path #160, Source root in dev sourceset not being detected by Intellij #108, Cursive support #66

Deprecations

None

Tested on the following version:

Requires Clojure 1.10+ (due to use of prepl)
