I'm fairly new to gradle and I would like to create a custom type for with the Gradle Init Plugin. Moreover, I'd like to be able to do something like:
gradle init --type jsp-library
This would generate a project directory with the same structure as a Java web application (webapp, stylesheets, etc...). Yes, I have read this, and I know that only a limited amount of types are available. I just want to know if someone has or knows of some sort of work around for the time being.

To add a Gradle plugin with dependencies, you can use code similar to the following: Plugin DSL GA versions. Plugin DSL non GA versions. Legacy Plugin Application.
From inside the new project directory, run the init task using the following command in a terminal: gradle init . When prompted, select the 2: application project type and 3: Java as implementation language. Next you can choose the DSL for writing buildscripts - 1 : Groovy or 2: Kotlin .
The subproject producer defines a task named buildInfo that generates a properties file containing build information e.g. the project version. You can then map the task provider to its output file and Gradle will automatically establish a task dependency.
There are 3rd party plugins that allow you to create custom templates and generate new projects from templates. For instance, see: https://github.com/townsfolk/gradle-templates
Use maven to generate a project from archetype and then use gradle init to convert it to gradle project.
Modify the init plugin yourself from source to add more init types.
