I'm using Java Spring as backend and Angular as frontend.
I have a system test for the Frontend that requires that the backend has already started.
In gradle I already have a npm-task that starts the frontend tests.
How can I configure gradle or which plugin do you recommend for starting the backend before that test-task and stopping it after it has finished?
I found the gretty-plugin, but I don't manage to make it work. V4 of the plugin depends on JDK11 (I use JDK8) and all older major version throw an error in gradle like "Cannot change dependencies of dependency configuration". I judge the plugin to be not well maintained and documented.
