[forge-dev] Gradle Addon status update - Gradle project creation working :)

Wed Aug 21 08:29:21 EDT 2013

Hey Max,

I don't think that he meant there was a difference in test speet bewteen
build/eclipse. Just that the first test run (from anywhere) takes longer
because it is downloading and caching files. Subsequent tests run faster.

Regarding the information that can't be resolved from the gradle tooling
API, there is quite a bit, such as it's impossible to get dependency
information without doing what adam has done! Silly - hardly a "tooling
API" if you ask me!

Take a look at the file adam linked. That shows pretty much everything that
gradle does not provide I think, but Adam can give a more comprehensive
list.
