@ahggns I'm not too familiar with gradle, but essentially I'm trying to make this sub-library usable externally. From what I can tell, currently you can only use conjure-postman either 1) as an executable or 2) at build time as a conjureGenerator with gradle-conjure. This would let folks use its internal functions at runtime in their other projects. Is this the correct change we need to make this possible?
