Build System
Qi4j community migrated away from Maven after several years of frustration, especially around release management, versioning and cross-module dependency resolution issues, in Feb 2011. The tool of choice is now Gradle, and it doesn't require any installation, there are gradlew and gradlew.bat in the root folder of the Qi4j SDK that will bootstrap Gradle if not done so already.
Clean up of all build output and restoring the code base to a fresh state.
This is the default build, which creates the jars, runs checkstyle and tests with cobertura, and produces test coverage reports in the qi4j-sdk/build/reports directory.
Runs the Regression Tests
Runs the Performance Tests.
Produces the Javadocs for the code base. The full javadoc is placed in qi4j-sdk/build/javadocs, and the generation is supposed to be grouped in a nice natural way.
Creates the release output into the qi4j-sdk/build/distributions directory.
Uploads the release artifacts to the distribution servers, such as http://repository.ops4j.org/maven2 and http://www.qi4j.org website.
Gradle is very flexible, and we have defined (or in the process of defining) the following tasks (same as Ant's targets).
