Template gradle project

[slinkydeveloper]

We should provide a template gradle project to kickstart using the SDK.

I propose to reuse the templates we have in https://github.com/restatedev/tutorial-java/ and refactor them to use the new SDK, perhaps improving documentation. WDYT?

How is https://github.com/restatedev/tutorial-java/ different from https://github.com/restatedev/project-template/tree/main/template-java? So far we were using the latter project in the CLI when setting up a new project, right?

The template repo doesn't have any examples or tutorial, it's just providing a project skeleton with all the gradle boilerplate to get started. I think the outcome of this issue should be more or less like it, a ready to copy paste project skeleton without much frills, and host examples/tutorials/demos somewhere else in other repos. WDYT?

Yes

Yes, this sounds good to me.

Done. See the examples
