SpringBoot Test Gradle Plugin against 8.2-rc-1

Hi folks,

Gradle 8.2 is around the corner with nagging around the usage of Project.getConvention -> https://docs.gradle.org/8.2-rc-1/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_access_to_conventions

This is the piece causing the warning https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/2.7.x/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-tools/spring-boot-gradle-plugin/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/gradle/plugin/JavaPluginAction.java#L169 and some logs:

The Project.getConvention() method has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 9.0. Consult the upgrading guide for further information: https://docs.gradle.org/8.2-rc-1/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_access_to_conventions
    at org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject.getConvention(DefaultProject.java:593)
    at org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.JavaPluginAction.sourceSets(JavaPluginAction.java:169)
    at org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.JavaPluginAction.configureBootJarTask(JavaPluginAction.java:102)
    at org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.JavaPluginAction.execute(JavaPluginAction.java:80)
    at org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.JavaPluginAction.execute(JavaPluginAction.java:60)
    at org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.SpringBootPlugin.lambda$null$0(SpringBootPlugin.java:126)
    at org.gradle.configuration.internal.DefaultUserCodeApplicationContext$CurrentApplication$1.execute

While this is not a problem with Spring Boot Gradle Plugin 3.x, this could impact folks running with 2.7.x if Gradle 9.x comes out before they migrated to Spring Boot 3.x.

Is 2.7.x still receiving changes? if so, would it make sense to change that usage from JavaPluginConvention to JavaPluginExtension instead?
