Dear all,
I'd like to collect some feedback on the Gradle Distribution Settings
(Tools > Options > Java > Gradle > Execution Panel > Distribution Section)
Over the years, Gradle evolved and some usage patterns has changed.
8 years ago, Gradle Daemon was in incubation phase. It could took a few
(5-10) seconds to start a daemon especially with HDDs.
People usually installed some latest Gradle and used that globally,
wrapper was not yet popular.
I think the following settings are obsolete:
- Start Gradle Daemon on IDE Start: Most people are using wrappers,
so a daemon with the IDE defined distribution, just wasting resources.
- Install Gradle Runtime Silently (Project trust is fine for that)
The following options are questionable:
Custom Gradle Distribution. (I think I've used only once around 2.3
when I built my own Gradle distribution due to a bug in Gradle)
The Gradle Distribution Selector Combo Box is over engineered. I would
replace that and the
"Prefer to Use Gradle Wrapper that Comes with the Project" check box in
a simple combo with elements:
Wrapper
8.0
7.6
....
3.0
I would drop the selection below at least 3.0 (Gradle 2.x are ancient,
and there are a few versions which are not working well with NetBeans)
So at the end I would keep the Gradle Home and the combined distribution
selector. Probably move that to root project level as well.
What do you think?
