> Apache Geode currently uses Gradle 7.6.6 for its build system. This tracks
> the migration to Gradle 8.4 to leverage performance improvements, enhanced
> dependency management, and modern build features while maintaining
> compatibility across all supported Java versions.
> *Background* Gradle 8.4 introduces significant improvements over 7.6.6:
> * Enhanced configuration cache for faster builds
> * Improved dependency resolution and conflict detection
> * Better support for Java 21 and modern JVM features
> * Advanced build caching capabilities
> * Enhanced security features for dependency verification
> * Improved IDE integration and tooling support
> * Performance optimizations for large multi-module projects
> *Current State*
> * Gradle version: 7.6.6
> * Java compatibility: 8, 11, 17
> * Build modules: 50+ subprojects
> * Build time: ~45 minutes full build
> * CI platform: GitHub Actions
> *Scope* This migration includes:
> * Update Gradle wrapper to 8.4
> * Verify and update all Gradle plugins
> * Update build scripts and configurations
> * Test compatibility with existing build logic
> * Update CI/CD pipeline configurations
> * Performance validation and optimization
> *Success Criteria*
> * Successful build with Gradle 8.4 on all platforms
> * All existing build tasks function correctly
> * Build performance improvement or no regression
> * All Gradle plugins compatible with 8.4
> * CI/CD pipelines work without issues
> * Developer workflow remains unchanged
> *Technical Tasks*
> # Update gradle-wrapper.properties
> # Audit and update all Gradle plugins to compatible versions
> # Review and update build.gradle files for deprecated APIs
> # Update gradle-wrapper.jar
> # Test configuration cache compatibility
> # Update GitHub Actions workflow Gradle versions
> # Validate IDE integration (IntelliJ, Eclipse)
> # Update developer documentation
> *Known Breaking Changes*
> * Deprecated APIs removed in Gradle 8.x
> * Plugin compatibility requirements
> * Configuration cache behavior changes
> * Dependency resolution changes
> * Build script compilation changes
> *Dependencies and Blockers*
> * All Gradle plugins must have Gradle 8.4 compatible versions
> * Third-party build tools integration verification
> * IDE plugin compatibility confirmation
> *Risk Assessment*
> * MEDIUM: Plugin compatibility issues
> * LOW: Build script syntax changes
> * HIGH: Configuration cache integration complexity
> * MEDIUM: CI/CD pipeline adjustments
> *Testing Strategy*
> * Local build verification on all platforms
> * Full CI pipeline testing
> * Performance benchmarking against Gradle 7.6.6
> * IDE integration testing
> * Developer workflow validation
> * Incremental build testing
> *Performance Expectations*
> * 10-20% faster clean builds with configuration cache
> * Improved incremental build performance
> * Better memory usage for large builds
> * Enhanced parallel execution capabilities
> *Timeline*
> * Phase 1: Gradle wrapper and plugin updates (1 week)
> * Phase 2: Build script modernization (3 weeks)
> * Phase 3: CI/CD integration and testing (2 week)
> * Phase 4: Performance validation and optimization (1 week)
> *Acceptance Criteria*
> * All builds pass with Gradle 8.4
> * Zero build script deprecation warnings
> * Configuration cache enabled and functional
> * Build performance within acceptable range
> * All CI jobs pass successfully
> * Developer documentation updated
> * IDE integration verified
> *Migration Steps*
> # Update gradle-wrapper.properties to 8.4
> # Run ./gradlew wrapper to update wrapper JAR
> # Update plugin versions in build scripts
> # Address any deprecation warnings
> # Enable and test configuration cache
> # Update CI workflow files
> # Perform comprehensive testing
> *Rollback Plan*
> * Keep Gradle 7.6.6 wrapper files in version control
> * Document specific plugin version compatibility
> * Maintain CI job for Gradle 7.6.6 during transition
> * Clear rollback procedure documented
