platform build does not work with Java templates out of the box

[thewheat]

Trying some of the Java templates https://docs.platform.sh/languages/java.html they do not work

Example template used below is https://github.com/platformsh-templates/spring-boot-maven-mysql

Simplest workaround identified

• Run platform build
  • Use defaults but specify public for the "Build destination"
  • It will fail the first time but subsequent running of platform build with the default values will succeed
• Alternatively ln -s . public in the root directory and platform build with the defaults will succeed

Example of workaround

• Step 1: Specify public as build destination - first run with this setting will fail

• Step 2: Retry platform build with the defaults and this should work
