Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-2098:
----------------------------------------------
[~alexcb] That works as long as you have a version of gradle that works with
the project. The other thing the wrapper does is let the project specify the
version of gradle to build with, which makes compatibility simpler -- if you
have an older system-installed gradle, the wrapper lets you use a newer version
just for that specific project. This makes builds more robust since they don't
have to support every version of gradle that people might have installed.
Unfortunately the gradlew bootstrapping doesn't work with all versions, which
is why Gradle recommends checking in the scripts and jars. For example, setting
up Kafka for development on Ubuntu Trusty is kind of a pain right now because
the version of Gradle (1.4) is too old to get past the bootstrapping phase, so
you still need to download Gradle separately just to bootstrap the wrapper
scripts.
