-----------------------------------------

Hi Nicolas,

bq. If we checkout ofbiz-framework and after download the wrapper from own repos, finally why remove the wrapper ?
Because we don't want to distribute gradle-wrapper.jar. We release the branch, not the trunk nor the tools. See LEGAL-288 and re-read the description here if it's not clear enough.

bq.  I thinked that the binary would be resolve for a uri published by the owner.
This is not mandatory. What is required is to not release external binaries.

bq. Demo and buildbot problem need to be not related to ofbiz-framework source
Since they use the release branches and trunk, from where we remove the external binaries (Gradle was adopted for this reason), we need to get the gradle-wrapper files from somewhere. Getting them from tools is the less possible expensible way.

bq. gradle wrapper version need to be present with source code
Yes that's why we have https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/tools/Buildbot/Gradle/Wrapper

bq. I fear that we take a hazardous shortcut
There is nothing hazardous with my proposed solution :) And it works!

> Following the discussion at http://markmail.org/message/nd7grfiyobjkfwae, considering LEGAL-288 and based on a lazy consensus on dev ML, we want to remove the gradle-wrapper.jar file from the next packaged releases and  use [~jacopoc]'s related proposition to document how to have Gradle working in the main README.md file.
> # Extract the archive file to your local directory.
> # Download gradle-wrapper.jar and place it in the OFBiz-root-dir/gradle/wrapper folder.
> I'm not sure if we should recommend a link to download the gradle-wrapper.jar. This might change in the future (versions, etc.), so indeed maybe simply asking to download is enough, cf  https://www.google.com/search?q=gradle-wrapper.jar+download&ie=UTF-8
> Also we need to add a point about removing gradle-wrapper.jar in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Release+Management+Guide+for+OFBiz
