---------------------------------------
Summary: Explore additional distribution build mechanism
Key: GOBBLIN-449
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOBBLIN-449
Project: Apache Gobblin
Issue Type: Test
Reporter: Abhishek Tiwari
Assignee: Abhishek Tiwari
Based on feedback from last release [1], if the user already has gradle
installed, they can leverage a bootstrap task to get right gradle version and
build the distribution. This is used by Datafu and Samza [2]
We can add this as an alternative build option (or primary if having two would
be confusing).
Verbatim quote of Matt's suggestion from the vote thread:
"Abhishek, what about using a bootstrap gradle task to download the jar and
gradlew? DataFu does this [2], which was based on Samza's solution. You
just need to have some version of gradle installed and can run `gradle -b
bootstrap.gradle`. Then you don't need the jar or gradlew checked in.
-Matt"
