Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-7677:
-------------------------------------

I agree. And I won't provide an 'Ant to Gradle Migration' document. Good title 
for a book, btw. :)

I believe our product documentation should be geared more towards applicability 
per release. 
In this scenario: Ant related documentation for releases prior to the first of 
the 16.x branch (but that, I suspect, won't get many hands togetheras no more 
releases will be cut from those branches from now on), and Gradle related 
documentation for the releases from 16.x on. 

See how several other Apache projects do this: (Https, Tomcat, ServiceMix, 
etc.).

I can't totally agree with your statement 'We are not at the end user level 
here'. Our product is also used by pop-and-mom webstores (e.g. Olagos in 
Belgium), where the devops skills are often not of the same high level as in 
bigger corporate deployments (Steven Singer?, Buchhandel.de?, AMI?). We also 
need to keep that in mind. 
Hence the creation in and subsequent patch in OFBIZ-7780. I believe OFBIZ-7723 
is a good issue. Until that will be brought to a favourable resolution, the 
aforementioned OFBIZ-7780 could be implemented as for the intermediate period.
