             Summary: Improve handling of gradle home
                 Key: BIGTOP-2474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-2474
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Olaf Flebbe
            Assignee: Olaf Flebbe
             Fix For: 1.2.0


The optimazation within {{build.gradle}} to create a {{/usr/share/gradle.home}} directory do not fully work. 

At each time the file
{{https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/org/nosphere/apache/creadur-rat-gradle/0.2.0/creadur-rat-gradle-0.2.0.jar}} 
is downloaded.

Propose to remove all this code alltogether and substitute it with a more docker-ish approach:

Generate a clean container with the toolchain. Start it running ./gradlew within. Commit it as bigtop/slaves:trunk-os

A local prototype looked very promising and decreased startup timing.
