Examining the following path in .classpath generated by the mdk for Eclipse:

 

.gradle/caches/minecraft/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.8-11.14.4.1577/start

 

Contains the following:

 

GradleStart.class
GradleStartServer.class
net/minecraftforge/gradle/GradleForgeHacks$AccessTransformerTransformer.class
net/minecraftforge/gradle/GradleForgeHacks.class
net/minecraftforge/gradle/GradleStartCommon.class

For the short question: if we don't build with Gradle, do we need this dependency?

 

Also, what is it?

1) Why arnt you building with gradle?

2) These are the 'launcher' for miencraft when you're in dev.

I've been building everything with Make for years. I'm sure Gradle has nice things but I have yet to see anything offered by other build automation tools that can't be done in Make-- so I continue to use Make.

 

It only took a few minutes to convert what was provided in the mdk. I just wasn't sure if I needed these classes or not.

Yes, I see that now.

 

I can add this as a post-compile task if you would explain the procedure.

 

Thanks.

Seriously dude, why are you hacking things together with make? All make does is wrap around systems like gradle and maven. Just use it -.-

I can see that you have a your strong affinity for Gradle but I already have a build system which is well integrated with my development environment and deployment tools.

 

I would appreciate it if you would explain the procedure for reobfuscation as it would save me a lot of trouble.

I don't have a 'strong affinity' for Gradle. I have a 'string affinity' for shit that works and does everything that is needed to be done because we've put a lot of work into it.

And you coming here wanting us to help you break that down and forcing/advocating creating EVEN MORE work for us because you're wanting to be a special snowflake and people who don't know better will follow you in doing things the hard way.

So, ya I hate people who make more work for us because they want to feel special.
