- tools.jar is built from: https://github.com/ManfredKarrer/tools
Should be included in main project to avoid to copy over the jar,
but as long the reproducible build is not complete we prefer to not
add too much changes to the code base
It doesn't actually work to build fat executable jars because we always
have bouncycastle jars that need to exist outside of the fat jar. This
change drops building fat jars altogether in favor of using Gradle's
built-in `application` plugin to write simple scripts that invoke java
with the correct classpath against a directory of all dependencies
(including bouncycastle) without the need to have a fat jar in the mix.
Essentially, you should now run:
./gradlew build
./build/app/bin/bisq-desktop [options]
Instead of `java -jar build/libs/bisq-desktop.jar`.
See updated doc/build.md for details.
This commit takes a pass through all documentation and scripts,
replacing any remaining `mvn` commands with their `gradle` equivalents,
replacing `target/*` paths with their `build/*` equivalents, and so on.
Note that the instruction to install Maven has been removed entirely
from documentation and scripts, as opposed to instructing users to
install Gradle, because with the Gradle wrapper (the `gradlew` script in
the root of this repository), it is unnecessary to install Gradle at
all. Users may still do this with, e.g. `brew install gradle` if they
like, but otherwise can get everything they need done with `./gradlew`
commands.
This commit also replaces lowercase 'bisq' with capitalized 'Bisq' where
appropriate in documentation.
Like the previous commit, this is a best-effort approach, and not all
scripts are perfectly up-to-date and tested. Indeed, many of the docs
and scripts we have now are essentially legacy documents and should
probably be scrapped or reworked completely.
This commit is *not* a complete re-working of the scripts under package,
but is rather just enough of a re-working of the
package/osx/create_app.sh script to verify that the new Gradle build
creates a suitable fat executable jar for use in this script.
These changes have been tested with the following commands:
cd package/osx
./create_app.sh
open ../../deploy/Bisq-0.6.7.dmg
Then double-clicking the Bisq icon from the mounted DMG. Bisq starts up
as expected, without errors.
Further work will be required to update the package/osx/finalize.sh
script as well as the package/linux/ and package/windows/ scripts prior
to the next (0.7.0) release. For now, however, enough work has been done
to verify that the Gradle build creates the fat jar these scripts need.
