Hi, I would like to discuss GEODE-474, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-474. We have not updated our Gradle version since starting incubation, which is using 2.3, and there have been Gradle releases with some useful features.
Features of 2.8 include: - Faster configuration - Continuous builds - Incremental builds - Faster builds - Improved IDE support As for build time, the following is execution time for running the tasks 'clean build -Dskip.tests=true': Gradle 2.3: 1 mins 55.045 secs Gradle 2.8: 1 mins 21.865 secs For those using their own Gradle installation, the minimum version would still be 2.3. Comments, Questions, Concerns? --Mark
