             Summary: bootstrapping tidy-up
                 Key: KAFKA-1675
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1675
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Szczepan Faber


I'd like to suggest following changes:

1. remove the 'gradlew' and 'gradlew.bat' scripts from the source tree. Those scripts don't work, e.g. they fail with exception when invoked. I just got a user report where those scripts were invoked by the user and it led to an exception that was not easy to grasp. Bootstrapping step will generate those files anyway.

2. move the 'gradleVersion' extra property from the 'build.gradle' into 'gradle.properties'. Otherwise it is hard to automate the bootstrapping process - in order to find out the gradle version, I need to evaluate the build script, and for that I need gradle with correct version (kind of a vicious circle). Project properties declared in the gradle.properties file can be accessed exactly the same as the 'ext' properties, for example: 'project.gradleVersion'.
