Currently we use the "gradle project attachment plugin" to support
building elasticsearch as part of another project. However, this plugin
has a number of issues, a large part of which is requiring consistent
use of the projectsPrefix.
This change removes projectsPrefix, and adds support for a special
extra-plugins directory in the root of elasticsearch. Any projects
checked out within this directory will be automatically added to
elasticsearch.
Transitive dependencies can be confusing and hard to deal with when
conflicts arise between them. This change removes transitive
dependencies from elasticsearch, and forces any dependency conflicts to
be resolved manually, instead of automatically by gradle.
closes#14627
Some dependencies must be specified in a couple places in the build.
e.g. randomized runner is specified both in buildSrc (for the gradle
wrapper plugin), as well as in the test-framework.
This change creates buildSrc/versions.properties which acts similar to
the set of shared version properties we used to have in the maven parent
pom.
run.sh and run.bat were calling out to the old maven build system.
This is no longer in place, so we've created new gradle tasks to
start an elasticsearch node from the current codebase.
fixed#14423
Eclipse does not have the ability to differentiate test dependencies
from main dependencies. This causes what looks like a circular
dependency through test-framework. This change sets up an additional
core-tests project for eclipse only, which removes this problem.
The RR gradle plugin is at
https://github.com/randomizedtesting/gradle-randomized-testing-plugin.
However, we currently have a copy of this, since the plugin is still in
heavy development. This change moves the files around so they can be
copied directly from the elasticsearch fork to that repo, for ease of
syncing.
The test jar was previously built in maven by copying class files. With
gradle we now have a proper test framework artifact. This change moves
the classes used by the test framework into the test-framework module.
