You may also want to look at Groovy, Tapestry, Zest, Usergrid or Geode. I can see that a couple do have the jar in git but IMO would be best to avoid if possible. > That step creates the gradle wrapper (and downloads gradle-wrapper.jar) so > that gradlew can be used from that point on. > see https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/README.md > <https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/README.md> Seem like the best approach to me. > Interestingly, the Kafka repo still contains the wrapper - i.e, if one clones > / downloads the github repo, the wrapper is already present. > > Justin, is it legal for the source repository to continue to contain the > gradle wrapper? Legal probably yes, allowed perhaps yes/perhaps no but best avoided IMO. Thanks, Justin
