Hi Devs, since a few days / every now and then I try to get into our gradle build, but I have some problems, because I somehow try to start big (with the current gradle build) instead of building up from small example projects.
As a few of you prefer gradle to the current ant build [2], I would be willing to convert it, but I struggle with understanding the warnings IntelliJ throws me at and also the way multi-module build / DSL usually look like. So I'd wished to have two things: * maybe someone of you has time to go through the current gradle build and explain me a few things. * modifying the project structure to something more modular, e.g. to have a separate sub-tree for the main jar and the others modules. I'm not sure if this makes sense in the current project phase, but in case you would argue, that the patches wouldn't match anymore ... with the JPMS reorganization we already have that situation. So if there's anyone brave enough [1] drop me a note. Btw. if you would decide that a maven only build (opposed to the lite version now in place) is also an improvement, I'm happy and capable of doing that ... but the project structure should be change then too.
