I don't think there's any kind of rush to have a PR today. I like Geertjan's idea best:
> IMHO there should be a single wizard named "Java SE > Application" and a single wizard named "Java Web Applicaton", both of > which, in step two or three, should let the user choose whether they want > to build their Java application with Maven, Gradle, or Ant. If it's more work it's more work, but then users get to pick the build system from a combobox and we just set the default to be Maven. I don't know that area that much but perhaps a we could have some SPI for build systems and installing Gradle stuff will automatically add it to that wizard combobox. Maybe users could also have an option to set their preferred build system so it always picks Gradle (or Ant or Maven) next time. --emi On Sun, Nov 25, 2018 at 7:48 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, I realized it and uploaded them to the PR 😊. > > If we have something like: > > Java Application: > - Maven based > - ANT based > Java Web Application: > - Maven based > - ANT based > ... > > This doesn't really move ANT out of sight, and is only slightly better > than what we have now.
