The contributors from Splunk contributed the Gradle build system with the hope that it would replace Maven as the build system for BK, which offers more flexibility and performance. The team has been trying to continue our contributions for updating and fixing the Gradle issues, and the dual build systems are supposed to be temporary until we entirely move to Gradle. However, the team from Splunk had some reprioritization of work hence they were not able to fully work on fixing it.
However, it seems like there aren't many interests to help pick up Gradle and make it be the only one build system for BK. - Henry On Mon, Jun 6, 2022 at 5:21 AM ZhangJian He <shoot...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, community, the previous discuss is in > https://lists.apache.org/thread/k3pdlpbvkzt061338fkxtppq3z70nk03. > > ## the main reason to remove gradle from porject > 1.
