Other related changes:
1) The Windows build is now done on Windows Server 2012r2
2) The Windows build is now done using Visual Studio 2013 Express (closeselastic/elasticsearch#256)
3) set_env.sh is only used with the C++ build
4) It is no longer necessary to set PRELERT_SRC_HOME if building via gradle -
this environment variable IS still required for make, but gradle sets
PRELERT_SRC_HOME before calling make
5) No build tools are loaded from the Prelert NAS
6) The version number for C++ components is now picked up from the same
gradle.properties as the version number for Java components (closeselastic/elasticsearch#37)
7) "make test" now propagates error returns even when PRELERT_KEEP_GOING is
defined - this means gradle only needs to check the return code of make
8) The C++ processes now print out Elasticsearch BV as the copyright owner
Jenkins implications:
1) Jenkins installs gradle 2.13 as part of the build process
2) Jenkins now does the build by executing these gradle tasks: cppAll, pluginAll
3) Jenkins must define the JAVA_HOME environment variables
4) The Jenkins slave running on Windows now has a standard setup, i.e. using
cmd for its shell instead of Git bash
5) 64 bit Git for Windows is used on Windows build slaves instead of 32 bit
msysgit
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@01c863bfd0
1) The C++ 3rd party libraries need to be copied to cppdistribution
before gradle assemble runs
2) Use gradle check instead of gradle test in the build
3) We don't need Maven or pbzip2 any more
4) Make new_version.sh script update the right files
5) Keep a copy of the built plugin after the build
Outstanding TODOs:
1) Versioning needs to be brought in line with Elasticsearch
2) We are building a plugin per platform rather than one containing
all platforms - we need a step that runs when all platforms have
completed to create a single plugin
3) Strip the C++ binaries so the uploads aren't so big
