Kostya Golikov commented on KAFKA-1171: --------------------------------------- [~mumrah] talking about sbt pros -- it is able to perform incremental compilation and continuous tests execution [out of the box], whereas in ant you are doomed to manual clean/compile loop (aren't you?). It is not vital and showstopper, but such things could ease developer life a lot. > Gradle build for Kafka > ---------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1171 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1171 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: packaging > Affects Versions: 0.8.1, 0.9.0 > Reporter: David Arthur > Assignee: David Arthur > Attachments: 0001-Adding-basic-Gradle-build.patch, > 0001-Adding-basic-Gradle-build.patch > > > We have previously discussed moving away from SBT to an > easier-to-comprehend-and-debug build system such as Ant or Gradle. I put up a > patch for an Ant+Ivy build a while ago[1], and it sounded like people wanted > to check out Gradle as well. > 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-855 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
