Project Coin Approved by JCP
Project Coin has been unanimously approved by the Executive Committee for SE/EE, with Oracle, Eclipse, Intel Corp, IBM, Keil Werner, Hewlett-Packard, SAP AG, Google Ericsson, and Fujitsu, having all voted in favor of JSR 334. Yet, Google expressed its disagreement with the licensing terms, stating that the “yes” vote Google gave to the JSR referred to its technical content only, with licensing-related issues still remaining largely arguable.
The same statement was made by IBM as well, that referred their in-favor voting to technical content only and not the licensing terms.
Third Milestone Release for Gradle 1.0
The third milestone of Gradle 1.0, recently made available, alters the way Ivy repositories are defined: now Gradle will choose the right repository implementation basing on the URL patterns that are supplied by the developer. Another novelty the milestone introduces is that of the new way of query for a source set’s source directories (the new query looking like this:
1 |
sourceSets.main.allSource.srcDirs.each { dir -> println "src dir: $dir" } ) |
This release contains also several breaking changes, like that of renaming the install task to installApp, as well as a number of class and package name changes.
