David Capwell commented on BIGTOP-1384:
---------------------------------------

[~cos], [~jayunit100].  Updated based off feedback.  

gradlew is no longer the one provided by gradle, but really a fork that merges all the logic that the java code had done.  This will mean that we don't need a binary in the source, but for users its the same experience.

> By adding a the infamous *gradle wrapper script* (this is the idiom in gradle - to use the wrapper instead of a local gradle install) into our VCS, we gaurantee that the gradle tricks we implement will be running the exact same on all systems, no matter what.
> - Also, it opens the tests up to be runnable by anyone, even those who don't have gradle installed.
> - Finally, gradle wrapper will embolden us to be able to use more sophisticated gradle tricks newer features, b/c we will know that they run the same in all environments.
> So, this task consists of :
> 1) Adding gradle wrapper to the {{bigtop-smoke-tests}}
> 2) Implementing cleanup for the build.gradle files also, possibly allowing for version specific features (i.e. advanced dependency inheritance for subprojects etc)
> 3) Update README with new instructions for people running the tests.
