Hi all,

Since we totally have moved to Gradle as Beam build system (after final 
removing all maven poms recently), don’t you think that we need to add a 
dedicated page or, at least, a paragraph, into Contribution Guide where to add 
more examples of some tips&tricks while using Gradle? 

Comparing to Maven, I can guess that not so many people are so well aware about 
how to use Gradle (me is a good example for that =)). For instance, it can be 
quite useful to add some information, like, how to build and publish maven 
artefacts locally (that can be used for testing when you wish to build and run 
pipeline with custom jars), running integration tests, remote debugging and 
etc. 

Ismaël Mejía and Luke Ćwik already started to write up such things in these 
docs:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wR56Jef3XIPwj4DFzQKznuGPM3JDfRDVkxzeDlbdVSQ/
 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wR56Jef3XIPwj4DFzQKznuGPM3JDfRDVkxzeDlbdVSQ/>
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EiTwEMD8FNhU4Ok6jthASpmK3-1hiAYzVTrdl8qBLrs 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EiTwEMD8FNhU4Ok6jthASpmK3-1hiAYzVTrdl8qBLrs>

So, based on these docs, check that they are up-to-date with last changes and 
create such new page on website which should help contributors.

What do you think?

Alexey
