Let's be positive and forward enabling; if a commit is reverted,
then that reversion has not stopped any discussion, and now the
original committer will have to do more work to re-add what was
removed.
Definitely, all commiter try to have a positive attitude to improve
OFBiz. Your commit break nothing (on technical aspect), and I'm sure
maven would be a good improvement.
Only, Jacopo start a discussion to improve OFBiz with Gradle
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Discussion-migrating-from-Ant-to-Gradle-td4654092.html#a4654170
and adding pom.xml has an effect of bombshell. If you explain before
on this thread that maven is better and why, your commit would be
appreciate in its just value.
Before your commit I had not idea on gradle or maven, but with my
french mentality now I prefer Gradle ;) (completely not subjective!)
Gradle is a non-starter. When I saw that mentioned, I actually did
do some comparisons.
In google, search for maven, then gradle. See how many responses
each one gets.
Then, go to trends.google.com, compare the above 2 items, and then
add ant. You might want to say "apache ant" or "apache maven",
and/or add java terms.
Then, also do a "A vs B vs C" search, aka, "maven vs gradle vs ant".
After doing this, maven is still the right choice.
Quantity is not quality
That seems to be a bit of an abrupt statement. Do you have anything
more substantive to say? Did you actually attempt to dig down into the
suggestions I gave? Or was this a knee-jerk response to my attempt at
actually investigating gradle?
