I don't know of any enterprise size build that uses Gradle or another one of those frameworks that: - no serious projects uses - no one knows how to configure advanced stuff - doesn't integrate with hudson, nexus, eclipse, intellij and netbeans - but looks really cool.
That being said, you do have a really valid point that our build could use some care: - we violate a lot of maven best practices -- use of <repository> tag -- compile dependencies VS transitive depedencies -- depdencyManagement for all versions in the parent pom -- guvnor's generated files are not all in target directory -- the eclipse plugin should be build with maven tycho -- drools-examples should build in the main build -- there must not be jars in subversion I'd love to clean it up, but I have no time atm. And there's also some good things coming our way: - Maven 3 is coming very soon (twitter jason: "Maven 3.0-beta-1: 1 issue remaining Apr 9th") - and it's huge leap forward (twitter ceki: "Started building logback using maven 3. With mvnsh, the "mvn compile site" command which took 8 seconds now takes less than 1 second. Cool.") - Jboss will upgrade to a nexus professional repository (tommorrow I think) With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet tolitius schreef: > Just wondering if any of the devs considered to use something a bit more > efficient for the whole Drools Suite build.
