Re: [Squirrel-sql-develop] I would like to convert Squirrel Sql into a gradle project.

Thank you for responding to my request.   I have no problem meeting all your requirements.   The Gradle build will faster not slower.

We should be able to do a complete build in well under 60 seconds.   I started with a core build in under a second.

I have been experimenting with updating the dependencies.   I am having some issues with JMeld  as the new version has redefined several API’s.    I would like to meet an talk about it.

First of all thanks for your interest in SQuirreL and your offer.



Here are some things I expect:



1. The build script should not be more complicated than today's Ant

script. It would be Ok if it was somewhat longer because of the

dependency list.



2. It must include building SQuirreL's plugins.



3. There is at least one dependency (rsyntax_RText-6.0.2.jar) which

isn't available in Maven repositories.



4. Some of SQuirreL's libs are somewhat "hand crafted":

-- There are libs with prefixes showing where they belong to, e.g. poi...

-- There are libs packed as fat jar, e.g.

jgit6.0.0.202111291000-r-with-dependencies.jar.

-- Some dependencies of the libs are not included in SQuirreL's libs

today. Including these should not make SQuirreL much bigger.



If you see a chance to cope with these expectations feel free to give it

a try. Nonetheless I won't guarantee I'll take the script without

looking at it and without trying it out.
