Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-7910:
----------------------------------------
The nice thing about Gradle is that it considers Ant a first class citizen and
inter-operates with it very nicely. So for all practical reasons, you can refer
to the guide about using ant from gradle (link below). One of the reasons we
were able to migrate to Gradle is that we used Ant in the master build script
to apply functionality that used to exist in the old ant scripts (like the
junitreport). You can also put a few code snippets in that document that shows
how to import an ant file. The master build.gradle file itself has a few nice
references on how to use ant from gradle.
So I would say if you did not make any customizations to OFBiz, then you don't
need to do anything to migrate. If, on the other hand, you did make custom ant
scripts let's say, then you just need to import them into your build.gradle
file (whether top level or inside components).
In short, you can just write a paragraph explaining that gradle works with ant,
provide the below link, and maybe a little code snippet to show how to import
ant scripts. I think this would be satisfactory to users unless I'm missing
something important?

> Currently the component generated with the createComponent task doesn't have
> the means to work with the Gradle build solution visavis dependency
> management.
> The reason for this is that no build.gradle template exists that need to be
> copied into the new component.
