--------------------------------------
Summary: Use the ‘application’ and ‘distribution’ plugins
Key: OFBIZ-10866
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10866
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: Trunk
Reporter: Mathieu Lirzin
Assignee: Mathieu Lirzin
Fix For: Upcoming Branch
Gradle provides some useful standard plugins for launching and packaging
applications via the the {{application}} and {{distribution}} plugins.
* The [{{application}}
plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html]
provides a {{run}} task which is an alternative to the rule based generated run
tasks. Arbitrary command line arguments can be passed to OFBiz via the
{{--args}} option.
* The [{{distribution}}
plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html] is
complementing the {{application}} plugin by providing a straightforward and
easy way to distribute OFBiz with its dependencies which is convenient in a
deployment context. After extracting the distribution archive, OFBiz can then
be launched via a robust shell or batch script.
The default targets must be been refined to not build the distribution archives
which can be a bit long in the context of OFBiz where we have a lot of
dependencies.
