Description

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/isolated_projects.html

Experimenting with the feature today shows that our ResolvableDependencies, used both for layered jars and for identifying GraalVM metadata , isn't compatible. https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/31973 is tracking a change in Gradle will hopefully improve the situation.

Related, https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin/issues/380 is tracking a similar enhancement to the dependency management plugin. In addition to being blocked on the above Gradle issue, it's also blocked on https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/25179.

Research direction

Start with the Gradle isolated projects documentation and inspect the uses of ResolvableDependencies for layered jars and GraalVM metadata. Review the linked Gradle issues 31973 and 25179 and dependency-management-plugin issue 380 before changing Spring Boot. Done means isolated projects support is compatible with these uses, but the payload indicates external blockers remain.
