Enhancement: Provide vanilla DSL style configuration of renderers, importers etc

[holgerstolzenberg]

It would be really great to not have to import specific classes into the build script via import statements. We see the following advantages:

• Have a more uncluttered build script
• Hide implementation details of the plugin from the build

We currently workaround with full qualified class names:

licenseReport {
  def name = "License Report: ${project.name}"

  //noinspection UnnecessaryQualifiedReference
  renderers = [
      new com.github.jk1.license.render.InventoryHtmlReportRenderer('license-report.html', name),
      new com.github.jk1.license.render.InventoryMarkdownReportRenderer('license-report.md', name)]

  //noinspection UnnecessaryQualifiedReference
  filters = [
      new com.github.jk1.license.filter.ExcludeTransitiveDependenciesFilter(),
      new com.github.jk1.license.filter.LicenseBundleNormalizer()
  ]
}

But having something like the following snippet (draft) would be great:

licenseReport {
  renderers {
    html {
      reportFile = 'license-report.html' // or file()
      title = 'license-report.html'
  }
  
  filters = 'exclude-transitive-dependencies', 'license-bundle-normalize'
}

That would be a nice thing to implement. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

I'd like to keep this one open if you don't mind, as it's still planned for implementation

I accidentally closed the issue and would be really glad to have this enhancement coming.
