grade init built in Maven converter uses keywords in Kotlin scripts when creating version catalog

[pawelkw]

Current Behavior

When using gradle init to convert a Maven project to Gradle and dependencies contain Kotlin keywords they are used in the generated version catalog causing the build to fail due to incorrect syntax in the build.gradle.kts file.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/xyz/abc/sample/build.gradle.kts' line: 27

* What went wrong:
Script compilation errors:

  Line 27:     api(libs.my.library.string.interface)
                                                                            ^ Name expected

  Line 32:     testImplementation(libs.org.jetbrains.kotlin.kotlin.test)
                                                                        ^ Expecting ')'

2 errors

Expected Behavior

If maven dependencies contain Kotlin keywords they are not used in the generated version catalog. i.e. interface

Context (optional)

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a Java Maven project
2. One of the POM dependency names should end -interface. i.e.:

<artifactId>string-interface</artifactId>

3. Use gradle init
4. Chose to convert from Maven, chose Kotlin, say "no" to using new features
5. Run ./gradlew in newly created Gradle project

Observe the error:

* Where:
Build file '/Users/xyz/abc/sample/build.gradle.kts' line: 27

* What went wrong:
Script compilation errors:

  Line 27:     api(libs.my.library.string.interface)
                                                                            ^ Name expected

  Line 32:     testImplementation(libs.org.jetbrains.kotlin.kotlin.test)
                                                                        ^ Expecting ')'
