Strongbox: Configure Github Actions to run matrix jdk builds

[steve-todorov]

Task Description

We would like to setup Github Actions to test our master and PRs using the latest LTS versions which as of this moment are jdk8 and jdk11. The build steps should only attempt to do build the project similarly to how we do it in the OS/Linux build stage in our Jenkins. Testing with s-w-i-t and smoke-tests is out of the scope of this task.

This task will result in better testing of Strongbox under different JDKs and will improve our stability.

Tasks

The following tasks will need to be carried out:

• [x] Have a step which configures Maven to 3.6.3 since this is the version we use on all builds.
• [x] Make sure that Maven is configured to use the right settings.xml
• [x] Build the project using mvn -B -U clean install -T 2 -Daether.connector.resumeDownloads=false -Dintegration.tests -Dprepare.revision --fail-at-end
