Project build setup

[srbala]

Team great work on this product. Do have any plan to add project build scripts; it seems the current project setup is integrated with Eclipse IDE.

Ant Ivy-based setup would be the ideal choice if the team chooses to stay with the offline build process.

Hi @srbala

we have plans to make this project easier to run and maintain dependencies, yes, for example, as you suggest, with help of Ivy or similar. But we don't know when this will happen.

As reportserver is open source, of course, you are welcome to create a pull request and contribute. We have a tutorial to make this project run with eclipse, if you are interested we can post it here. We have not published this tutorial yet because some things are still open (specifically -> how to maintain the libraries, etc).

Regards,
Eduardo

I would be glad to contribute add build steps. Since the team maintains multiple versions of the project we can use Ivy or Maven with BOM support (like the spring family of projects).

What would be the team choice?

Hi srbala,

Ivy would be great :)

or even better gradle

@edu-de I'll look into the Gradle. It would be a better option for new directions.
