Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5755:
-------------------------------------
+1 to exploring something simpler.
However, I'm concerned about:

I don't think Maven will help much too, given certain things I'd like to have
in the build (for example collect all tests globally for a single execution
phase at the end of the build, to support better load-balancing).

Can you expand on this a little? I know for example that mike's python runner
does this, and yeah its faster, but its "cheating" because it runs the tests
with a giant classpath, including classes that various modules shouldnt
actually depend on.
Maybe its paranoia (as if you compile them with the correct dependencies, it
should catch 99% of the mistakes), but java still has reflection and other
similar things and I do really like running tests with the correct classpath of
what they should rely upon.

> I am dissatisfied with how ANT and submodules currently work in Lucene/ Solr.
> It's not even the tool's fault; it seems Lucene builds just hit the borders
> of what it can do, especially in terms of submodule dependencies etc.
> I don't think Maven will help much too, given certain things I'd like to have
> in the build (for example collect all tests globally for a single execution
> phase at the end of the build, to support better load-balancing).
> I'd like to explore Gradle as an alternative. This task is a notepad for
> thoughts and experiments.
> An example of a complex (?) gradle build is javafx, for example.
