Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-10145: --------------------------------------- Let's hope that someone using windows will provide something similar as a batch file :-) We should do as much as possible to make it easy for users to get started. So we should provide proper documentation for a manual download/install as well as convenience scripts where possible. > Remove the Gradle wrapper from our release packages and add a step to our > build notes > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-10145 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10145 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Task > Components: Gradle > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Jacques Le Roux > Fix For: 17.12.01 > > > Following the discussion at http://markmail.org/message/nd7grfiyobjkfwae, > considering LEGAL-288 and based on a lazy consensus on dev ML, we want to > remove the gradle-wrapper.jar file from the next packaged releases and use > [~jacopoc]'s related proposition to document how to have Gradle working in > the main README.md file. > # Extract the archive file to your local directory. > # Download gradle-wrapper.jar and place it in the > OFBiz-root-dir/gradle/wrapper folder. > I'm not sure if we should recommend a link to download the > gradle-wrapper.jar. This might change in the future (versions, etc.), so > indeed maybe simply asking to download is enough, cf > https://www.google.com/search?q=gradle-wrapper.jar+download&ie=UTF-8 > Also we need to add a point about removing gradle-wrapper.jar in > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Release+Management+Guide+for+OFBiz -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
