Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-10866: ----------------------------------------- Thanks Mathieu, great stuff! I suggest we don't create both archives (zip=271MB, tar=391MB) each time we run OFBiz, please find attached your modified patch, thanks. It adds {noformat} tasks.distZip.enabled = false tasks.distTar.enabled = false {noformat} To create one or both simply comment out one or both added lines and run OFBiz (g ofbiz). Yes, AFAIK you still need to {{run}} OFBiz to create one or both archives.

Arbitrary command line arguments can be passed to OFBiz via the > {{--args}} option. > * The [{{distribution}} > plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html] is > complementing the {{application}} plugin by providing a straightforward and > easy way to distribute OFBiz with its dependencies which is convenient in a > deployment context. After extracting the distribution archive, OFBiz can > then be launched via a robust shell or batch script. > The default targets must be been refined to not build the distribution > archives which can be a bit long in the context of OFBiz where we have a lot > of dependencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
