Gradle multi-project setup

[einarjohnson]

Hi there,
I have a gradle multi-project setup here which I am trying to use with vscode/devcontainers. Are there any example devcontainer.json files out there where this has been achieved successfully? I am running into all kinds of performance issues where the devcontainer itself is extremely slow.

This is my current devcontainer.json file

{
    "name": "Temporal proof-of-concept",
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/java:21", 
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker:2": {},
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/terraform:1": {
            "version": "1.12.2"
        },
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers-extra/features/temporal-cli:1": {}
    },
    "customizations": {
        "vscode": {
            "settings": {
                "[java]": {
                    "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
                        "source.fixAll": "always",
                        "source.organizeImports": "always"
                    },
                    "editor.defaultFormatter": "redhat.java",
                    "editor.formatOnSave": true
                },
                "[terraform]": {
                    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
                    "editor.defaultFormatter": "hashicorp.terraform"
                },
                "[terraform-vars]": {
                    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
                    "editor.defaultFormatter": "hashicorp.terraform"
                },
                "workbench.colorTheme": "cursor-dark",
                "java.autobuild.enabled": false,
                "gradle.nestedProjects": true,
                "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,
                "java.import.gradle.java.home": "/usr/local/openjdk-21"                
            },
            "extensions": [
                "vscjava.vscode-java-pack",
                "eamodio.gitlens",
                "vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons",
                "ms-azuretools.vscode-docker",
                "vscjava.vscode-java-debug",
                "vscjava.vscode-java-test",
                "cedricverlinden.cursor-dark",
                "vscjava.vscode-gradle",
                "vmware.vscode-boot-dev-pack",
                "hashicorp.terraform"
            ]
        },
        "codespaces": {
            "openFiles": [
                "README.md"
            ]
        }
    },
    "postCreateCommand": "./gradlew clean build"
  }

And the layout of my project is like this

gradle projects
