Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1384:
--------------------------------------------
Just a point of reference: ASF release can not include jar files - only the
source code. And the Gradle wrapper requires a bootstrap jar file to be
checked-in along with the rest of an application source code. Here's the
proof-link http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html#valid
> Implement Gradle Wrapper for smoke tests and cleanup.

> Key: BIGTOP-1384
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1384
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tests
> Affects Versions: backlog
> Reporter: jay vyas
>
> By adding a the infamous *gradle wrapper script* (this is the idiom in gradle
> - to use the wrapper instead of a local gradle install) into our VCS, we
> gaurantee that the gradle tricks we implement will be running the exact same
> on all systems, no matter what.
> - Also, it opens the tests up to be runnable by anyone, even those who don't
> have gradle installed.
> - Finally, gradle wrapper will embolden us to be able to use more
> sophisticated gradle tricks newer features, b/c we will know that they run
> the same in all environments.
> So, this task consists of :
> 1) Adding gradle wrapper to the {{bigtop-smoke-tests}}
> 2) Implementing cleanup for the build.gradle files also, possibly allowing
> for version specific features (i.e. advanced dependency inheritance for
> subprojects etc)
> 3) Update README with new instructions for people running the tests.
