[forge-dev] Student introduction - Support for the Gradle build system

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Sebastian, do you know if they figured out to run gradle/groovy tooling without
requring a custom patch of Eclipse JDT ? 

And Adam - really looking forward to see how this goes. Can't wait 
to see if gradle tooling can load fast enough to be usable in a forge context!
