Description

Currently, users are required to install some dependencies for things like, building java code (gradle), which we might want to control the version of which then requires the user to control. This issue is an idea to experiment with using all docker based tools for all user dependencies. gradle, etc...

A complication is our own CLI tools which are not currently docker friendly so either we figure out how to package our CLI tools in a reasonable way, or we make excpetions to this for Confluent / Kafka tools.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by inventorying the user dependencies mentioned, including Gradle and Confluent/Kafka CLI tools, then assess which can be Docker-based and where CLI packaging creates exceptions. Done requires a scoped experiment and a documented decision about Docker usage versus exceptions.
