As part of KOGITO-5663 we have added some lightweight logic to detect the build tool and do different things depending on that. In particular:

by looking at a System property

https://github.com/kiegroup/kogito-runtimes/pull/1506/files/2a15a92b74c341f4afb70ccaa6867cf4a465565d#diff-22b533671dd551af239e793ba1f9fd0c66a1583e631323888c36463688454ccb

we decide whether we're running the Quarkus extension on Gradle. If the build tool is Gradle, then the AppPaths class does not add a prefix to the expected resource path.

(1) Using the system property is quite ad-hoc
(2) the prefix is till kind-of hardcoded

We want to improve this detection, refactor to some class similar to https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/main/independent-projects/bootstrap/core/src/main/java/io/quarkus/bootstrap/utils/BuildToolHelper.java and centralize the custom logic.

It is also desirable to improve further path handling logic: AppPaths.java is very ad-hoc.
