Research direction
Start by reading CONTRIBUTING.md and the linked FormatterStepFactory, FormatterFactory, and FormatExtension entry points in the Maven and Gradle plugins. Compare how each currently adds custom plugins and investigate the ServiceLoader and Maven plugin-dependency references in the issue. Done means a build-agnostic SPI can load dependencies, accept configuration, and dynamically discover external services for both integrations.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently adding a custom plugin requires adaptations to the Maven/Gradle plugin as
a) FormatterStepFactory and
b) FormatterFactory or FormatExtension
are
a) not build system agnostic and
b) are not dynamically looked up
It would be beneficial to have a build-agnostic plugin SPI which allows to
a) load dependencies
b) pass configuration
c) dynamically lookup services from classpath (e.g. with https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/ServiceLoader.html)
For Maven the mechanism for adding additional classes to the plugin classpath is via plugin dependencies. I hope that Gradle provides something similar.
