https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13452 Update the lucene-solr build from Ivy+Ant+Maven (shadow build) to Gradle.
Hey all. Here is my Lucene and Solr 'move to Gradle' plans. * I plan on trying to commit the Gradle build by 9/30 * In the meantime I'll do a bit more work on packaging, publishing, and dependencies. * It would be great if others could start digging in a bit as well. * I plan to try and sidecar Gradle to begin with. Once that happens, I really need others to start digging in as we have a lot to do (switch ci and other tools to the new build, figure out new release docs and issues, finish the Solr documentation module (I'll try and get to that earlier than later), and generally make things pleasant across as many dev envs as we can. * Beyond that, there will likely be a longer tail of smaller issues or missing things even after we make the switch. * I'll put some effort into the side car experiment for another month or two perhaps (maybe not much in November) * If things are not looking like we will be able to flip the switch, I'll look at pulling out Gradle. - Mark
