David Arthur commented on KAFKA-1171: ------------------------------------- Sorry for being quiet on this for a few weeks - just getting back into working mode after the holidays. [~joestein], still having permissions issues? Does something need a chmod +x? [~junrao], to answer your questions: 1. Gradle will generate IDEA and Eclipse project files (I've tested this a little) 2. Building a release is a matter of writing a Gradle task that does all the necessary things (build jar, build javadocs, copy bin scripts, etc). There are some Gradle plugins to help with some tasks (e.g., license checking) 3. {./gradlew -Dtest.single=RequestResponseSerializationTest core:test} 4. Not sure - what is the purpose of this step in the current build? If it's for gathering deps for a distribution? I see this Gradle plugin (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html) which I haven't tried yet. > 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, 0001-Adding-basic-Gradle-build.patch, > 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.
