Hi all, I think the documentation should better explain the difference between the configuration tasks and execution tasks. There are already few posts/issues caused by the misunderstandings surrounding this distinction, and I believe there will be more of them in the future: http://www.nabble.com/Running-imported-ant-task-sequentially-td24845591.html#a2484559 http://www.nabble.com/%22gradle--t%22-tries-to-execute-Ant-tasks%2C-and-it-shouldn%27t-td24546981.html#a24547542 http://www.nabble.com/Running-imported-ant-task-sequentially-td24845591.html#a2484559 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-513 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-592 and probably many more
I think the differences between these two types of tasks should be clearly presented somewhere in the first chapters of the userguide - probably on the beginning of chapter 4 (Chapter 4. Build Script Basics). Right now this chapter uses << notation without explanation what it means. I think we should remember, that many users (or even most of them) will not bother with reading the whole documentation, but will start writing their builds after reading just a part of it. And will be dissapointed with the results. Should I add JIRA issue for this ? -- best regards Tomek Kaczanowski http://kaczanowscy.pl/tomek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
