Description

Gradle provides some useful standard plugins for packaging applications via the ‘distribution’ and ‘application’ plugins.

• The ‘distribution’ plugin [1] is providing a straightforward and easy way to distribute OFBiz with its dependencies which is convenient in a deployment context. This is achieved by the new ‘distTar’ and ‘distZip’ tasks.

• The ‘application’ plugin [2] is complementing the ‘distribution’ plugin by adding both a robust shell script and a batch script inside the distribution archives to allow launching OFBiz easily.
