Hi All, Both Maven and Gradle are great build systems. Gradle is flexible and has a better performance than Maven. However, it adds some complexity to the project and requires to get familiar with its plugins. Maven could result in a painless transition than Gradle as a build system. Gradle-Kotlin DSL ( https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html) seems promising for solving some of the drawbacks of Gradle but I think that it needs time.
We can go with Maven (even Gradle is not a bad choice). Here are some related issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2292 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-892 Kind Regards, Furkan KAMACI On Fri, Nov 30, 2018 at 8:21 AM Chris Mattmann <[email protected]> wrote: > Thamme worked on this…check where he left off… > > > > > > > > *From: *lewis john mcgibbney <[email protected]> > *Reply-To: *"[email protected]" <[email protected]> > *Date: *Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 1:13 PM > *To: *"[email protected]" <[email protected]> > *Subject: *Maven vs Gradle for Nutch Build System > > > > Hi Folks, > > Seb and I were talking build systems this week.
