Same thing happening in Android development right now. You may have spent years working with Eclipse and Ant and the ADT plugin for Eclipse to write Android apps. Personally I have dozens of apps written using these. But now everything new is happening on Android Studio and Gradle, the new IDE and build system. If you want to use new features like binary Android library packages, you have to switch to the new tooling.
- myko 13y agoAFAIK there will be comparable tooling for Eclipse once the new build system is officially 'ready for production'.
- king_jester 13y agoWhile its true the official build system is slowly lurching its way over to gradle, this is nothing like what the author is experiencing with Symfony. Android + ant is still fully functionally and has tons of documentation and community info. Switching from ant builds to gradle is not difficult and doesn't impact app development, Eclipse/Intellij/Android Studio all can build and work with projects without gradle.
