Lightweight build alternatives to Gradle / Maven
Maven also has the maven wrapper: https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper which accomplishes the same thing.

Native-image with Micronaut
When creating a new Maven project, Micronaut also configures the Maven wrapper.

Java Is Criminally Underhyped
IDE's can be fiddly, and anyway I don't think it's good to depend on an IDE for building.
The project could have been set up instead with the "Maven wrapper"(1) which provides "mvn.cmd/sh" scripts at the top level of the project to fetch and run the proper Maven. So after cloning the project, all you have to do is set a proper JAVA_HOME and then do "./mvn clean package". The IDE's will then set themselves up properly if you import the project as a Maven project, and will sync with changes to the Maven pom.xml whenever it changes (Intellij does at least). That's really hard to beat.

The Problem with Gradle
> Now “obviously” the answer is that we should have pegged the version of gradle required to use the script
My first step with either gradle or maven is to install the wrapper generator, which has this effect. After adding the wrapper you invoke it via ./gradlew or ./mvnw in the project doirectory.
It’s not perfect - especially in terms of IDE support - but it’s crucial to at least keeping your CLI builds consistent across team members and in automation.

How to write unit tests in C++ relying on non-code files?
Java has in-memory file systems that are essentially geared for this exact use case, eg jimfs[0]. You create your filesystem and any files you need when your tests are starting up, and your classes talk to them rather than the “real” ones. Maybe a similar project exists for the C++ ecosystem?

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
Recently been using JIMFS. Made my tests much faster and cleaner!

Working and unit testing with temporary files in Java
I use Google's JIMFS "Just In Memory Filesystem" https://github.com/google/jimfs in my unit tests and have been very happy. No need to clean something up that disappears as soon as the test is over. Let's you create unix or windows style filesystems and I've used it to test a disk space healthcheck because you can set a limit to the size of the filesystem it creates. Very flexible and easy to use.
