I'm basically trying to implement the behavior achieved by

com.gradle.scan.plugin.BuildScanExtension#background

but don't see a good execution API that works for this context, leading me to believe that I'd have to fall back on manual

Thread

construction (or equiv via

Executors

)

Executors

and

CompletableFuture

could be best bet if you don't want to bring any dependencies. If you are ready for more heavy things - take what you're more comfortable with. But kotlin things would be painful if you're targeting more than one gradle major version. Also if you what to run some native process I could recommend

zt-exec

instead of java's

ProcessBuilder

, it's much less painful.

yeah, I'm hoping for a Gradle API since Gradle already manages worker/thread pools, etc. I can do a bare Exeuctor/Thread execution but would prefer something integrated if such an API exists...
