Hi beam dev list,
Hoping to find some pointers on how to best add a dependency for a new GCP
IO connector.
Specifically I want to add a dependency on the Cloud Healthcare API or the
equivalent of this section of a maven pom.xml:
```xml
<properties>
<healthcare.version>v1alpha2-rev20190901-1.30.1</healthcare.version>
<http.client.version>1.30.1</http.client.version>
</properties>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.http-client</groupId>
<artifactId>google-http-client-gson</artifactId>
<version>${http.client.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.apis</groupId>
<artifactId>google-api-services-healthcare</artifactId>
<version>${healthcare.version}</version>
</dependency
```
I know I'm one step away looking at this build.gradle
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/build.gradle#L30
*Background:*
I'm a first time contributor working on a PR for BEAM-9468
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/BEAM/issues/BEAM-9468> an issue I
opened to create a new GCP IO connector for a series of use cases we have
in the healthcare space.
I'm completely new to gradle. I started my development in a fork of
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/DataflowTemplates which uses
maven but then decided these would better be to contribute these IO
connectors upstream.
