Installing gradle seems to conflict with libtomcat-7.  Should I uninstall eclise, downgrade libtomcat, and just install eclipse again, or is there a better way?

 

using Ubuntu 13.10

 

$sudo aptitude install gradle

There is no need to install Gradle; Forge comes with its own modified Gradle wrapper.

Gradle wrapper is unmodified, it's directly from the original source.

As for a better way, using the wrapper would be the way to go as it doesn't install all the other libraries just the small package that is Gradle itself. It is your package manager that has the library issue not Forge or Gradle.

Okay, I think I get it.  I just rune the gradlew file instead for all the gradle commands, right?
