I'm a day late and a dollar short on this one maybe... Pierre, can you
explain this comment to a bit of a Java noob? I'm wondering about two
terms you mention, but also if I'm doing something wrong by using gradle
to get a working instance of OFBiz running for me to play with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I have pointed out elsewhere: Gradle is a *build* solution. It is not
the tool to run in production environments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess I don't know the difference between build solution and
production environment. This may very well be beyond the scope of this
mailing list. If it is, no problem, just point me in the direction of
some education. I really want to get going on OFBiz and help with docs
on the way. I'm really hoping that my experience will help some small
business owner who would otherwise throw up his hands at what he's
currently got to go on for docs.
If gradle and ant are just "build solutions," then I guess I'm not sure
how you'd fire this software up without either of them in a production
environment.
Jacques later commented:

Another possibility is to not use Gradle to deploy but plain Java

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How? Is that outlined somewhere in a doc I've missed?
Does using ant vs. gradle create the same thing (like a crew of
Norwegians vs. a crew of Egyptians building a house from the same
blueprint -- house ends up looking the same but the two work crews look,
act, and sound radically different) or am I totally missing the mark?
Any helpful, wise-cracking, get off this mailing list, or "derogatory
noob" types of comments are most welcome. I work at a proprietary ERP
company, and plan on picking one of the friendlier devs brains over the
next couple of days. It will help at my job too, so it's technically
ok... :)
