Martin Kleppmann commented on SAMZA-283:
----------------------------------------
+1 for excluding the gradle jar from the source release. I think it's
reasonable to ask people to install Gradle — package managers (like Homebrew
for Mac OS) now include it, so it's straightforward to install.
> Resolve gradle wrapper jar issue

> Key: SAMZA-283
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-283
> Project: Samza
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Jakob Homan
> Assignee: Jakob Homan
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> ASF source releases aren't supposed to have any jars within the release.
> However, the gradlew wrapper explicitly requires the jar to be checked in.
> To bootstrap a gradle build that doesn't have the jar requires the user to
> have gradle itself already installed, which defeats the purpose of the
> gradlew script.
> I'm going to bring this up on the incubator list, since there may be some
> leeway here. DataFu and Aurora are in a similar position.
