Oh, wow, JVM dev is fun...

To build the JetBrains example plugin, Gradle downloaded multiple GBs of dependencies, and my ~/.gradle dir is not over 5GB.

In what world does this make sense???

#gradle #kotlin #java #jetbrains

@tmr232 It obviously polluted parts of your system you'd never think of

@buherator Yeah, most likely.

Also - something didn't work with the debug task, so instead of debugging I decided to try using their plugin to create a new plugin, instead of the template.
Naturally, it uses different versions of things, so I now have several GB's more of Gradle crap...

Honestly - if this is the JetBrains experience, I really can't complain about the NSA...

@buherator And also disabled gh-actions on the plugin-template repo. Just Dependabot jobs would probably eat up all my private free minutes...

@tmr232 Would it be unreasonable to think that this is actually the point?

@buherator if GH did that, maybe. But in this case - it's just the JB task downloading 5GB of dependencies on every run. It took >5min to complete building on my machine.

@tmr232 The JetBrains Experience Of The Day for me was to find out that I have to configure a "Facet". Every time I encounter this term things turn to shit, and today was no exception.

@buherator Sounds like fun...
The thing is - I'm used to JetBrains being a very good experience.

@tmr232 Sun and Oracle are also HW companies, but it's probably just Tinfoil Hat Me talking...

@tmr232 yeah, this can be a struggle. What you don’t use should be cleaned up automatically in 30 days though. See here - https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/18516#issuecomment-2014225934

@petarov Gonna have to fire up Gradle 30 days from now for that to happen though
