Multi platform build and standalone native executable enhancement

[francescotimperi]

Description

I am a contributor of the Apache OpenServerless (incubating) project and we aim to provide multiplatofrm Openwhisk 2 images and native executable for the standalone component. This PR contributes the few tweaks we had to do inside the OpenWhisk codebase for being able to successfully use the native-image CLI from our build projects.

The changes are not modifying any components, just providing some changes into the building config and Dockerfile.

Please use an image from eclipse-temurin instead.

Perhaps one of these would work?
https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-temurin/tags?name=11

from the available list I believe that this could be a good one eclipse-temurin:23.0.1_11-jre-alpine, as it is a multiplatform image and based on alpine linux therefore the rest of the Dockerfile should continue working. I will give a try.

I would like to ask why the current official OpenWhisk images are not miultiplatform (if I checked the good ones) and your opinion about the possibility to generate native executable, at least for the standalone.

As Apache OpenServerless project we are interested in contributing the required changes to have everything generated from the official repo, at least for the multiplatform images.

Great, thanks!

Legacy... most of our Dockerfile infrastructure predates multiplatform images being widely used.

Sounds good.

@dgrove-oss I finally used this multi arch base image for the common/scala project

FROM eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine-3.21

I added to the PR these improvements/changes:

• I update the various gradle files to remove multiple deprecations warnings.
• I have also updated the deprecated maven plugin to the maven-publish one.
• I added a dockerMultiArchBuild boolean flag to create multi arch images (without the need of using the Dockerfile.arm file)
• I modified the tools/jenkins/apache build script to make use of the -P dockerMultiArchBuild=true flag

Thanks for doing this. Sorry for the slow response. I will make time to take a look this week.

@dgrove-oss I going to close this PR to create a new one supporting JDK 17 builds
