'runtime' and 'compile' configurations are deprecated and will be removed with Gradle 7.0

[steffen-wilke]

From the official Gradle docs:

The usage of the compile and runtime configurations in the Java ecosystem plugins has been discouraged since Gradle 3.4.

also see: Upgrading from 5.6 and earlier

With Gradle 7.0 these configurations will be removed entirely. As I understand, they are the default configurations for this plugin.

gradle-natives/src/main/groovy/com/stehno/gradle/natives/ext/NativesExtension.groovy

Line 32 in befa227

Collection<String> configurations = ['compile', 'runtime']

I was able to upgrade the LITIENGINE project to 6.2.2 and get rid of any warnings while still keeping the functionality of this plugin by changing the configuration to

Working:

natives {
  configurations = ['runtimeClasspath']
  // ...
}

Currently suggested in the readme:

natives {
  configurations = ['compile', 'runtime']
 // ...
}

To properly support upcoming gradle versions, it would be great if this plugin could switch to the recommended configurations. (i.e. use runtimeClasspath and compileClasspath instead of runtime and compile. At the very least, this should be mentioned in the README.md.
