The Ant build had a 'package' target that compiled the main source (only) and created the jars under lib/ No tests were run, and the test code was not compiled.
This was very useful for testing GUI changes (which are hard/impossible to test with JUnit etc) I cannot work out how to do this with gradle. 'build' runs tests and takes ages 'assemble' does not create the jars under lib/ext. The task description says: "Assembles the outputs of this project". I would expect this to include the JMeter jars under lib/ext Also 'assemble' runs ':src:dist:javadocAggregate' which seems wrong. S.
