This is a procedural vote for migrating to use Gradle for all our development related processes (building, testing, and releasing). A majority vote will signal that: * Gradle build files will be supported and maintained alongside any remaining Maven files. * Once Gradle is able to replace Maven in a specific process (or portion thereof), Maven will no longer be maintained for said process (or portion thereof) and will be removed.
+1 I support the process change 0 I am indifferent to the process change -1 I would like to remain with our current processes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is a summary of information contained in the disucssion thread comparing Gradle and Maven: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/225dddcfc78f39bbb296a0d2bbef1caf37e17677c7e5573f0b6fe253@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E Gradle (mins) min: 25.04 max: 160.14 median: 45.78 average: 52.19 stdev: 30.80 Maven (mins) min: 56.86 max: 216.55 (actually > 240 mins because this data does not include timeouts) median: 87.93 average: 109.10 stdev: 48.01 Maven Java Support: Mature Python Support: None (via mvn exec plugin) Go Support: Rudimentary (via mvn plugin) Protobuf Support: Rudimentary (via mvn plugin) Docker Support: Rudimentary (via mvn plugin) ASF Release Automation: Mature Jenkins Support: Mature Configuration Language: XML Multiple Java Versions: Yes Static Analysis Tools: Some ASF Release Audit Tool (RAT): Rudimentary (plugin complete and longstanding but poor) IntelliJ Integration: Mature Eclipse Integration: Mature Extensibility: Mature (updated per JB from discuss thread) Number of GitHub Projects Using It: 146k Continuous build daemon: None Incremental build support: None (note that this is not the same as incremental compile support offered by the compiler plugin) Intra-module dependencies: Rudimentary (requires the use of many profiles to get per runner dependencies) Gradle Java Support: Mature Python Support: Rudimentary (pygradle, lacks pypi support) Go Support: Rudimentary (gogradle plugin) Protobuf Support: Rudimentary (via protobuf plugin) Docker Support: Rudimentary (via docker plugin) ASF Release Automation: ?
