Gradle 1.5-rc-2 is now available for testing

A new release candidate for Gradle 1.5 is out. This release addresses a couple of issues discovered in the first release candidate:

  • GRADLE-2705 : Cannot run Gradle with 64-bit JVM on Windows 2003 and earlier - GRADLE-2706 : PMD Plugin applying basic rules even when they are not included in our rule set files

If you encountered either of these problems, or if you haven’t yet tried out the first release candidate, we’d really appreciate it if you could try this one out and let us know if you experience any issues.

You would likely get more people testing if you included the download link in the announcement.

Thanks - fixed now. That was a bit of an oversight!

Why does Gradle 1.5 try to access Maven metadata when having Ivy repositories configured only resulting in unnecessary network access?

Hi Thomas. Can you please open a separate forum topic for this issue? Seems like it warrants it’s own thread.

Hi Daz - Here it is … http://gsfn.us/t/3tsep. Any comment on the why? This might be intentionally, but it seems to be an expensive operation considering that the POM files shouldn’t be relevant…/Thomas
