Research direction

Start at GoomphCacheLocations.initFromProject(), where the issue identifies the deprecated Project.getProperties() call. Check the surrounding property lookup and verify that the Gradle compatibility warning is resolved while the existing goomph_ field lookup behavior remains unchanged.

Description

Project.getProperties() deprecated in Gradle 9 / removed in Gradle 10

With Goomph 4.4.1 and Gradle 9, the following deprecation warning is reported:

The Project.getProperties method has been deprecated. This will fail with an error in Gradle 10.

The problem report points to com.diffplug.eclipse.mavencentral, and the call originates from GoomphCacheLocations.initFromProject():

Object value = project.getProperties().get("goomph_" + field.getName());

This appears to be a straightforward Gradle 10 compatibility issue. Project.getProperties() can be replaced with Project.findProperty() here while preserving the existing lookup behavior:

Object value = project.findProperty("goomph_" + field.getName());

Could this be addressed in a future Goomph release?
