hello world

I was looking at the doc's, which have this command:


For Linux/Mac: $ ./gradlew pullAllPluginsSource


which makes me wonder whether perhaps it might not make more sense to 
write a "hello world" app which downloads any dependencies as already 
built JAR's rather than compiling from source?


Why the need to compile the packages?

Ha forgot, to be clear: Atlassian uses its own modified version of OFBiz, for more than a decade...

Hi Nick,

Please answer rather on the ML than directly to me. You will get a better support, people can answer you on the ML. The wider the audience the better 
the answers you might get.

This is how Atlassian see OFBiz through Jira where it's used from start of the product (mostly through the Entity Engine, but not only as shows your link)

This is not how the OFBiz community see OFBiz. You may refer to https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and get info from there...

Hi Nick,

It's recommended by the ASF and easier for the Release Manager: http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html

So we decided so when/by introducing Gradle

Feel free to contribute a "hello world" app, in the form of a Gradle task, if you like.

HTH
