[jira] [Created] (GOBBLIN-449) Explore additional distribution build mechanism

             Summary: Explore additional distribution build mechanism
                 Key: GOBBLIN-449
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOBBLIN-449
             Project: Apache Gobblin
          Issue Type: Test
            Reporter: Abhishek Tiwari
            Assignee: Abhishek Tiwari


Based on feedback from last release [1], if the user already has gradle installed, they can leverage a bootstrap task to get right gradle version and build the distribution. This is used by Datafu and Samza [2] 

We can add this as an alternative build option (or primary if having two would be confusing). 

Verbatim quote of Matt's suggestion from the vote thread: 

"Abhishek, what about using a bootstrap gradle task to download the jar and
gradlew?  DataFu does this [2], which was based on Samza's solution.  You
just need to have some version of gradle installed and can run `gradle -b
bootstrap.gradle`.  Then you don't need the jar or gradlew checked in.

-Matt"
