It seems that my ~/.gradle directory has complete copies of every Gradle distribution wrapper I have ever used. This is hugely wasteful of disk space. OK I know disk is cheap, but I have four computers and I use Unison to sync between them. Syncing 200MB of .gradle is a bit of a pain.
Can I propose that there is a think about how to prune this directory -- other than expecting users to dive in and delete things manually. Also the directory seems to contain all the manuals as well as all the jars. Is this needed? Also it violates DRY -- I have the manuals in my Gradle installation, why do I need copies in ~/.gradle. Actually doesn't that go for the jars as well? Another question whilst on this topic -- IS it necessary to have a jar cache in ~/.gradle -- I have (naïvely) supposed the Ivy and/or Maven cache would have been used directly. Or maybe it is and this cache is just for the wrapper? (But I suspect not as I have TestNG in there.
