------------------------------------------------
[~ptuomola] [~vorburger] just wanted to let you know that I made quite some
progress here. Maybe we could get together one of these days to show you around?
I've managed to integrate fineract-client as a module (instead of
Bash-script-magic approach we have currently). Like that we can publish it to
Maven Central (which I think we should). I've added a placeholder for
"fineract-api" (just an empty folder for now; will only continue after merging
back to develop). And overall I've also modularized the build.gradle files
themselves; not sure if you'll like it (although I do hope)... it's just that
the one Gradle file got really awefully long and I found it a bit of a pain
when trying to adjust things and finding the right section in over 1000 LOC;
the new build.gradle for fineract-provider is only around 200 LOC. Rearranging
things also revealed that some files were not covered by Spotless, Spotbug,
Rat, Errorprone (as far as I remember some minor stuff in the SQL files and a
handful more); just by re-arranging things for multi-module we got those
included as well.
Experimental: I integrated a Gradle plugin that allows us to pick the version
number from the current Git environment; on releases it will pick automatically
the release version... no more manual editing of gradle.properties (at least I
hope).
I have one dirty trick left to iron out (a little bit of a chicken and egg
problem in the relation between the modules of "fineract-client" and
"fineract-provider"). I found a solution for now that let's us keep everything
up to date and build it.
Besides the fineract-api module I have already another candidate to add here:
documentation. I will port the few existing pages we have in the docs folder to
Asciidoc (with PlantUML for diagrams). Have set this up on a couple of projects
recently... the results are really nice... it's easy to edit (aka
"documentation as source code"). This will take me only a couple of hours to
setup; will send you the ticket and PR when ready.
