Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-10145: ----------------------------------------- Nicolas, I was looking at what to do for Windows and I still think my proposition is good. Why? The argument you had, and I agreed about: bq. this introduce a hard rule for future to keep it during all time that a release version would be present on support. but actually we need to do that for Buildbot at least, as shown above, so our users can also use it. I also like the idea of (quoting myself): bq. call our init-gradle-wrapper scripts from both gradlew and gradlew.bat script if the Wrapper is not present. Then no need to ask our users to run the init-gradle-wrapper by hand. Using the starting script (gradlew or gradlew.bat) [is] enough. As said Swapnil about that: bq. In this way, life our users will became easy, no action will be required from their side. Don't you think we can should that? Anyway I let the community decide for this aspect. I'll use it to handle the WIndows side. I'll soon provide the patches for all branches. > 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: 17.12.01, 16.11.06, 18.12.01 > Reporter: Jacques Le Roux > Assignee: Nicolas Malin > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 17.12.01 > > Attachments: OFBIZ-10145-gradlew.patch, init-gradle-wrapper-R16.sh, > init-gradle-wrapper-trunk-and-18.sh, init-gradle-wrapper-trunk-and-18.sh, > init-gradle-wrapper-trunk-and-18.sh, init-gradle-wrapper-trunk-and-18.sh, > init-gradle-wrapper.ps1, init-gradle-wrapper.sh, init-gradle-wrapper.sh, > init-gradle-wrapper.sh, init-gradle-wrapper.sh, init-gradle-wrapper.sh, > init-gradle-wrapper.sh, init-gradlew-readme-R16.patch, > init-gradlew-readme-R17.1.patch, init-gradlew-readme-R17.1.patch, > init-gradlew-readme.patch, init-gradlew-readme.patch > > > 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.
