Gradle can use several cores

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

I don't know if you tried, but if you have a processor with several cores you may appreciate to put this in your gradle.properties file

        org.gradle.parallel=true

See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:gradle_configuration_properties for details

Warning: in Gradle 3.2.1 (our current version) this is experimental (Beta) but seems to work perfectly so far

I found it in https://zeroturnaround.com/rebellabs/making-gradle-builds-faster/ but did not explore the other possibilities yet

I just found also https://guides.gradle.org/performance/ which seems more CI oriented and certainly a definitive reference, but I must say have not
time to explore yet...

I think the parallel feature is not applicable to OFBiz because the
projects are not decoupled [1] [2]. So there is no gain from setting
this flag (or it might be harmful). Furthermore, the parallel flag is
still incubating at the latest version.

Ouch this is more complicated than what I thought.

I thought we had subprojects because we have subprojectExists in the main build. gradle and all the other build. gradle files

So it must be that the acceleration I felt is only a coincidence due to my current level of memory usage and no stopped daemons, I still appreciate it :)
