Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-7534: ---------------------------------------- Hi Pierre, Thank you for your feedback. in reply: - Yes I realize ant is not removed, this will happen in a later commit. This is a big task and I'm taking it in bite sizes, keeping ant as backup before I delete it - It's better to use readme.md than readme because of the clarity of the output given that most of the readme is rewritten anyway. - A simple find would suffice to find the eclipse command, anyway, no problem I can make a reference to it - Your permission problem is there because I'm attaching a patch, not applying a commit. Patches do not preserve permissions. This issue will be resolved once a commit is pushed to trunk. You don't need to "stop" because of simple file permission issues. - I did not remove the jars despite removing the .classpath file just to show that it works. There is a simple command ./gradlew eclipse which immediately generates the files you need - the ./gradlew ofbiz command is named like that because this is a rule, not a fixed command. You can read more on gradle rules, but in essence, ./gradlw ofbiz is comparable to java -jar ofbiz.jar ... it's a gateway to all OFBiz commands. > Migrate OFBiz from Apache Ant to Gradle build system > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-7534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7534 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ALL COMPONENTS > Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch > Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb > Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb > Labels: ant, build-tools, gradle > Attachments: ANT_GRADLE_COMPARISON.txt, OFBIZ-7534.patch, > OFBIZ-7534.patch, OFBIZ-7534.patch, build.gradle, gradle-wrapper.jar > > > This is a major refactoring task referring to the [email > thread|http://ofbiz.markmail.org/message/vstt3wxuubmjgmqj?q=Important+Changes+to+Trunk+and+Use+of+Ant+%26+Gradle] > in which the community voted for the switch after a proposal from the PMC > The purpose of this JIRA is to achieve the following objectives > - Fully implement a working compiling system in Gradle that passes all tests > - Remove all ant and maven build scripts from the system > - update the documentation of the system to reflect these changes -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
