Provide variants with the Vert.x Maven and Gradle plugins

[jponge]

Along with the bare projects, it would be useful to provide project variants using the (opinionated) Maven and Gradle plugins:

• https://github.com/fabric8io/vertx-maven-plugin
• https://github.com/jponge/vertx-gradle-plugin

Sounds like a good idea to me. I will start with #70. Such options should hidden at first and unfold when user clicks on Advanced options or similar.

Removed from the 2.0.5 milestone. We have enough features/fixes ready to get a 2.0.5 out.

I'd like to bump this issue. Currently, maven generated projects use the maven shade plugin. This works to some extent. For example, if I create a project and add webauthn dependency plus webauthn with classifier js (the javascript helper file), the shade plugin will not process that dependency and produce a non-working fat jar.

Using the reactiverse vertx maven plugin does work as expected, plus it offers some other interesting features like webjars support, auto-reload, etc...

At least for maven projects, I believe that using the reactiverse plugin, it would make developers workflow simpler than the current solution.
