Elide Gradle Plugin: Blazing Fast Java Compilation

The Elide Gradle plugin leverages the Elide runtime to dramatically improve dependency resolution and Java compilation speed in Gradle projects. Elide builds the javac compiler as a native image and includes it within the Elide binary. This plugin modifies your Gradle build configuration to use Elide's toolchain instead of Gradle's, skipping JIT warmup and resulting in up to a 20x speed improvement in compilation. Additionally, Elide offers optimized Maven dependency resolution and fetching, caching dependencies locally to further accelerate build times.
