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

Pierre ...

It would be great if you stop issuing so many JIRAs before at least you discuss them here. For example, your request to create build.gradle files in many subtasks is unnecessary because there is no reason to incorporate them unless you have specific tasks to implement. Even then, you can assign multiple things to one JIRA instead of having this micro JIRAs everywhere. Many other JIRAs you issued are also irrelevant due to either being not applicable or not fully understanding how gradle operates.

Excessive issuing of JIRAs without properly formulating the problem might slow us down as we need to read them and reply with a proper answer. If you look at the exchange above, Jacques and I were discussing multiple issues which we fixed immediately in this JIRA without even issuing any further JIRAs
