Gradle self compile failure for milestone8 snapshot

I just downloaded the milestone-8 snapshot “src” zip and tried “gradlew eclipse” and got some errors with checkstyle in buildSrc. Similar errors for a clone of the git repository.

Try running with ‘–refresh dependencies --info’ and see what that tells you.

We’re building gradle all of the time, so it’s surprising that it doesn’t work for you. Perhaps a transient issue with one of the remote repositories?

Hum, well with ‘–refresh dependencies --info’ it succeeded. Weird, but I guess I will just move on.

thanks, Philip

Hi Philip,

can you try it again with the flag “–refresh dependencies”. You might just run into GRADLE-2086
