option for turning on/off integrations

[maxandersen]

as discussed in #1774 there can be situatons where the classpath contains integrations you dont want to run.

we should at a minimum have a global off switch, maybe --no-integrations where --integrations are default ?

possibly consider --integrations=none and --integrations=all is default and open up for allowing list of '.' names to turn on/off specific integrations?

Couldn't it be something that is controlled in the comments of the file itself? Similar to other keywords like: //DEPS, //REPOS, //JAVA.

I would prefer having it in the source than having to type it on the command line every time I execute the script.

@maxandersen perhaps this should be part of the build steps feature I had been working on some time ago? There were several ways to select which steps to run, including from the sleeve file. We could then great the quarkus integration as a kind of legacy build step.

[maxandersen]

How would that look?

[jmini]

@maxandersen @quintesse we would be very interested by this feature, since we currently can't execute a client library that is built with quarkus but that has no dependency on quarkus. What can we do to push this forward?

[maxandersen]

submit a PR with a flag, maybe --integrations that take an optional list of names that will match on substring. Allowing you to do:

--no-integrations that runs nothing.
--integrations that runs as is today
--integrations=quarkus only run things matching 'quarkus'
--no-integrations=quarkus run everything but things matching quarkus

....if wanna keep it simple then just start with --integrations/--no-integrations (negatable=true in picocli)

[maxandersen]

realized its pretty easy to do. draft at #1875 to try.

This works perfectly. See: https://github.com/orgs/jbangdev/discussions/1774#discussioncomment-11761212

Thank you very much.
