https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project<p>Dear Ivy team</p> <p>Currently, our Ivy projects are using Maven as the build system, but with Maven, the build process (include testing) is very slow. And I know that by using Gradle, it will help us with this problem by boosting the build process much faster than Maven.</p> <p>So I just wanna try to apply Gradle to our Ivy projects to see how much it improves our build process. Unfortunately, I got a problem with Axon.ivy Project Build Plugin. As far as I know that we need to use "Project Build Plugin" to resolve Ivy's dependencies but that plugin doesn't support Gradle. So is there any possibility to apply Gradle with Ivy project? </p> <p>Thank in advance</p>enFri, 08 Mar 2019 05:33:04 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project#3734<h2>Thanks for the link. I agree with it that gradle could build faster by analyzing incremental change more accurate.</h2> <p>When it comes to IvyProject builds we are bound to tooling such as the JDT compiler which is OSGi aware. So it's a toolchain where I do not think there is much Gradle support available where we could benefit from. So I guess that a switch to Gradle is not a low hanging fruit that could easily be supported.</p>Reguel WermelingerFri, 08 Mar 2019 05:33:04 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project#3734https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project#3732<p>Thank for your quick response, about the evidence for Gradle faster than Maven, I saw this link for comparison between Maven and Gradle and they said that "Gradle is at least 2 times faster in every single scenario.": <a href="https://gradle.org/gradle-vs-maven-performance/">https://gradle.org/gradle-vs-maven-performance/</a></p>lphieuFri, 08 Mar 2019 04:20:25 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project#3732https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project/3731<p>Hi @Iphieu</p> <p>There are yet no plans to support Gradle as alternative to Maven.</p> <p>But honestly, do you have any evidence that Gradle is faster than Maven? I mean in general it is just a wrapper around the same stack with more groovy magic, isn't it?</p>Reguel WermelingerFri, 08 Mar 2019 03:05:53 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3730/how-to-use-gradle-with-ivy-project/3731
