Daniel John Debrunner commented on QUARKS-139:
----------------------------------------------
+1
I haven't used gradle but reading the wiki entry it seems this could be added
incrementally, to ensure a big pull request doesn't lose any aspect of the
existing build.

> Adopt a build system, such as gradle, that supports transitive dependency
> management

> Key: QUARKS-139
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QUARKS-139
> Project: Quarks
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Analytics, API, Applications, Connectors, Console,
> Documentation, Miscellaneous, Runtime, Samples, Test, Utils
> Reporter: Lance Feagan
> Labels: build
> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h

> By moving to a build system that supports transitive dependency management,
> the repository size can be decreased and users can more easily integrate
> quarks with their own applications by allowing the version of a dependency to
> float within an acceptable range, assuming proper semantic versioning of the
> dependencies.
> I have an initial set of work for this effort completed using gradle. Nearly
> all sub-projects build at this time--the notable exception being the
> android-dependent sub-projects. The other notable missing element is the
> integration of JaCoCo. In both cases, these should be simple additions.
