Hi All, Some time ago I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17015 to migrate from ant to maven/gradle. Originally I was going to implement both, compare and pick the best in terms of project needs. However, now I feel it would be a significant overhead to try out both. Therefore, I'd like to make a collective decision on the build tool before starting any actual work.
I saw on Slack (https://app.slack.com/client/T4S1WH2J3/CK23JSY2K/thread/CK23JSY2K-1643748908.929809) that many people prefer maven. I'm leaning towards maven as well. I guess we need to have a formal poll on the build tool since it is a significant part of the project. Please, suggest what the best way to proceed is. Should I just raise a vote for maven and just see if someone -1 in favor of gradle? PS: Please, bear in mind that Robert has already made some progress on gradle migration. I do not know how much is done there and whether he is willing to get it completed.
