Splendid. That was easy :-)
I wonder if Gradle should just go with the Maven structure by
default?
I find target is a very unexpressive name and build more appropriate.
As this is a constructed folder, Maven projects don't have to change
there layouts.
I have a few, essentially trivial, points:
-- I like using Build as the name of directory but that is because I
tend to use initial capital for directory names and initial lower case
for file names.
-- With the script called build.gradle, the directory name build is a
bit irritating when it comes to command line completion.
-- Where there are multiple build systems for a given project,
consistency of default naming is helpful.
-- Even people who don't use Maven are beginning to use the Maven
structuring conventions.
PS Any news on making Gradle HEAD buildable? I am still getting:
Exception: org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: : Warning: Could not
find
file /home/Checkouts/Bazaar/GradleCore_Trunk/src/docs/userguide/
master.pdf to copy. Buildscript=build.gradle in line(s): 228 218
There seem to be some issue with the LaTeX userguide generation. It
should work if you set -Dskip.userguide.
The output of the LaTeX pdf process can be found in: build/docs/
userguide/pdfOut
