After installing the gradle wrapper jar, building from source tar ball fails because the build of the standalone is assuming there is a .git available to let it generate git.properties.
> Task :core:standalone:generateGitProperties FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':core:standalone:generateGitProperties'. > No .git directory found! There are a couple of ways this could be fixed, but my high-level question is does standalone really make "need" the information in git.properties, or is this a nice to have? Ie, we could either remove this entirely, or we could generate the appropriate git.properties file for the 1.0.0 branch, commit it, and modify the build to use the committed file instead of trying to generate it. --dave
