Re: Switch to maven?

Hi, I am also in favor of Gradle, Maven always scares me with it's complex xml-format. I just committed an initial build/test setup in Gradle via subprojects, currently they are defined as "virtual" subprojects under build/... as we would create a few additional build-directories otherwise and I

Looks like.we will lose Gump support if we upgrade to Maven2 or Gradle, not that we have been doing much with the Gump CI build timeout errors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_continuous_integration_software On Sep 22, 2016 03:23, "Javen O'Neal" wrote: > I have

Re: Switch to maven?

I have added Gradle support in r1761871 [1] with one line of code, though requires that Ant be installed on the system. I would like to leapfrog Maven. While it does offer some dependency benefits and enjoys pretty high market share, reading and writing XML is something that should be reserved

Re: Switch to maven?

Hi, if I could choose freely, I would use Gradle by now, Maven still confuses me quite a lot. However also Gradle has quite a learning curve, so it would force all committers and users to learn quite a lot, so all-in-all I am also more inclined to keep the current build-system in place. My

Hi, I'd keen to switch our ant build to a modulized maven build. I guess there were already several discussions about this topic, but I couldn't find them on a quick view. Most of the work has been already done by Dominik in the sonar builds, so I hope it's not too time consuming to change. I
