Mathieu Lirzin updated OFBIZ-10866:
-----------------------------------
    Description:
Gradle provides some useful standard plugins for packaging
applications via the ‘distribution’ and ‘application’ plugins.

* The ‘distribution’ plugin [1] is complementing the ‘application’
  plugin by 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.

  was:
Gradle provides some useful standard plugins for launching and packaging applications via the the {{application}} and {{distribution}} plugins.
 * The [{{application}} plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html] provides a {{run}} task which is an alternative to the rule based generated run tasks.  Arbitrary command line arguments can be passed to OFBiz via the {{--args}} option.

 * The [{{distribution}} plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html] is complementing the {{application}} plugin by providing a straightforward and easy way to distribute OFBiz with its dependencies which is convenient in a deployment context.  After extracting the distribution archive, OFBiz can then be launched via a robust shell or batch script.

The default targets must be been refined to not build the distribution archives which can be a bit long in the context of OFBiz where we have a lot of dependencies.
