Description

JBoss AS 7 currently uses Hibernate components for JPA, Bean Validation and other techs. Hibernate components currently use Gradle as their build tool. Currently Gradle downloads itself during build so it can build itself with itself. This leads to a chicken/egg problem as it should either use the local source or an alternative FOSS build tool. http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/bootstrapping_gradle_source_build_using_source_only We can create a "gradle-bootstrap" package with the Gradle binary distribution inside, and put "BuildRequires gradle-bootstrap" in the "gradle" spec. I was reading the Debian package definition, and they are downloading the binaries in order to bootstrap! More info: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/gradle.git;a=tree http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-322 I went for an alternate approach in https://github.com/wolfc/gradle. The idea is to re-create the distribution using ant (phase 0) and use that to build Gradle phase 1. Then use Gradle~1 to build the real Gradle. Two branches: - fedora16: try to get a clean bootstrap using ant - code-quality: adding code-quality plugin On the code-quality branch try: $ cd bootstrap && ant && java -jar lib/gradle-bootstrap.jar -s Observe interesting issues. hi gradle 1.0 is "almost" ready there are three problems which should be solved: 1) gradle maven plugin (this should be resolved in gradle 1.1 http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2210) 2) replace maven-ant-tasks (see RHBZ#723276 and RHBZ#798263), gradle build/requires with aether-ant-tasks (RHBZ#817533) 3) jmock 2.5.1, used for testing sorry wrong link this is the right one http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2238 Gradle is in Fedora, closing. |
