Everything fine with the usual projects.

The only (small) issue I had was the following output while executing ./gradlew wrapper the second time:

[..]/gradlew: line 172: syntax error near unexpected token `&&'
[..]/gradlew: line 172: ` && [ "$HOME" = "$PWD" ]; then'

This happens when wrapper is executed a second time, i.e. using the freshly downloaded new Gradle version. I always execute wrapper twice after changing the version in build.gradle so that the new Gradle version gets the chance to update script files. (Yes, I know that It don’t have to specify the version in the build script anymore. But I actually like it that way.)

Everything is working fine, though, and this probably only happened because I used previous RCs. Just a cosmetic issue.

Hi Jörn,

yes the failure occurs once if you installed one of the previous RCs before. But it is actually a good thing, because it means that a regression with the start script we had in rc1/rc2 is fixed. :slight_smile:

Thanks for reporting and let us know if you encounter anything else that looks suspicious.
