Hi,
Related to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-66, I had a brief
look at the current state of Javamake.
I updated the issue with my initial findings but thought this was a
better forum for discussion.
Javamake has not had a release since Mar 2005 (I mistaken said 2008
in the issue report).
I just sent an email to the person who original developed it to see
if they could indicate what its status was, but unfortunately that
email bounced.
It does not consist of a vast amount of code, but there are no
tests. There is some documentation on how to use it, and I still
have a copy of a technical article about its design that I received
from the author years ago (OOPSLA'02, November 48, 2002, Seattle,
Washington, USA. Copyright 2002 ACM 1581134171/02/0011).
I assume that because the code is GPL it is not possible to add
into the gradle source repository?
I'm not an expert for licensing, but I think in this case there is no
chance.
I suppose it is possible to fork it and host it somewhere else, but
I dont really know the issues surround this or license issues if
using it from gradle.
I gonna ask some people who know better than me about those licensing
issues. That might be an option.
I will let you know when I know more.
