chore: Use cache in continuous-integration-workflow.yml

[jongwooo]

Signed-off-by: jongwooo [email protected]

Description

Updated continuous-integration-workflow.yml to cache dependencies using actions/setup-java. setup-java@v3 or newer has caching built-in.

About caching workflow dependencies

Jobs on GitHub-hosted runners start in a clean virtual environment and must download dependencies each time, causing increased network utilization, longer runtime, and increased cost. To help speed up the time it takes to recreate files like dependencies, GitHub can cache files that frequently use in workflows.

Solutions

Java projects can run faster on GitHub Actions by enabling dependency caching on the setup-java action. setup-java supports caching for both Gradle and Maven projects.

AS-IS

- name: Set up JDK 17
  uses: actions/setup-java@v3
  with:
    java-version: '17'
    distribution: 'temurin'

TO-BE

- name: Set up JDK 17
  uses: actions/setup-java@v3
  with:
    java-version: '17'
    distribution: 'temurin'
    cache: 'gradle'

It’s literally a one line change to pass the cache: 'gradle' input parameter.

Thanks, @jongwooo. Will you please rebase this to 5.7.x so that we can apply this to all branches?

[jongwooo]

@jzheaux I tried to rebase with git rebase 5.7.x, but it resulted in a conflict. It would be grateful if you could tell me how to rebase it.

[jzheaux]

Try this, please:

git checkout 5.7.x
git cherry-pick 7a9eb93b34e0233dd3a3dbc39f2f858639a6c5a9
git push ${remote} +chore/use-setup-java-action-to-cache-dependencies

where ${remote} is the remote for your fork. It may be origin, for example.

Then, change the base of this PR to spring-projects:5.7.x.

@jzheaux I made a mistake and the PR was closed. So I reopened at #12503
