-----------------------------------

             Summary: Update developers.html to document Gradle wrapper initialization step
                 Key: OFBIZ-13411
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13411
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Aditi Patel


The developers.html page on https://ofbiz.apache.org/developers.html is out of date with the current ofbiz-framework trunk README.md. Specifically, the page does not mention that the Gradle
  wrapper must be downloaded before any gradlew command can be run on a fresh trunk checkout. It also lists Java 11 as the minimum JDK for trunk, while trunk now requires Java 17.

  Changes made:

  1. New section: "Initialize Gradle Wrapper" — added between "Download" and "Build and Run". Documents the required init step:
    - Unix-like OS: ./gradle/init-gradle-wrapper.sh
    - MS Windows: init-gradle-wrapper
    - Includes PowerShell troubleshooting links (https://s.apache.org/vdcv8, https://s.apache.org/urnju).
    - Notes that this step is only required for trunk; release branches (e.g., release18.12) still ship the wrapper.
  2. Pre-Requisites updated:
    - Trunk minimum JDK bumped from Java 11 → Java 17 (matches trunk README).
    - Java 11 retained as the requirement for release 18.12.
    - Added $JAVA_HOME environment variable note.
    - Added PowerShell ≥ 7.1.3 requirement (Windows).
    - Added "no spaces in install path" warning (Windows).
  3. Build and Run reordering: "Building the Trunk" now appears before "Building Release 18.12", and the start/run heading was updated to "Starting and Running the ofbiz-framework trunk or 18.12"
  so trunk is the primary focus and 18.12 is secondary.
  4. Sidebar nav: added the new "Initialize Gradle Wrapper" entry.
