The JARs are no longer passed into the prolog to java stage.
$DEPS is not necessary on the command line and .jar handling
inside of the translater is not required.

Force relative paths by passing the Prolog compiler only a relative
name from within $SRCDIR. This avoids picking up the user's $HOME
path as part of the generated class file names, and prevents build
failures on filesystems where individual path components are limited
to 256 bytes.

The build system used mixed names for essentially the same things.
Rename all DEFS files to *.defs matching the handful of other files
that are already using this convention.

Latest version of buck is faster than the prior version used by
Gerrit. No-op updates when loading a debug version of the UI now take
only 1.804s on my laptop (previously 7s) and a draft UI compile is
only 24.659s (previously 39s).
The slow acceptance tests must now be excluded with `--exclude slow`.
Buck changed the meaning of the -e option to be --emulator, which is
unfortunately useful only for Android application developers.
genrule() now needs to use $(exe) to reference the binary to run,
offers $(location) to make it easier to find files in the build tree.
The empty srcs array is no longer required for genrule(). Buck has
determined it is sufficiently powerful with $(location) and deps that
requiring srcs is unnecessary.
Supporting .src.zip files in the srcs array of java_library() means
Gerrit no longer needs to run a separate genrule() to extract files
produced by ANTLR, or call javac inside of the BuckPrologCompiler
support glue.

Gerrit targets Java 6, not Java 7. If Buck is run under JDK 7
the javac compiler by default will assume -source 7 -target 7
and write incompatible class files.
Ensure the compiler builds for Java 6 language features and
Java 6 class format by passing the correct flags.

Try to reduce the size of the top-level BUCK file by moving
anything that has to do with Eclipse project generation and
classpath management into tools/eclipse.

Implement a new build system using Buck[1], Facebook's
open source clone of Google's internal build system.
Pros:
- Concise build language
- Test and build output is concise
- Test failures and stack traces show on terminal
- Reliable incrementals; clean is unnecessary
- Extensible with simple blocks of Python
- Fast
buck: clean: 0.452s, full 1m21.083s [*], no-op: 7.145s,
mvn: clean: 4.596s, full 2m53.776s, no-op: 59.108s,
[*] full build includes downloading all dependencies,
time can vary due to remote server performance.
Cons:
- No Windows support
- No native Maven Central support (added by macros)
- No native GWT, Prolog, or WAR support (added by macros)
- Bootstrap of buck requires Ant
Getting started:
git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/buck
cd buck
ant
Mac OS X:
PATH="`pwd`/bin:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands:$PATH"
Linux:
PATH="`pwd`/bin:$PATH"
Importing into Eclipse:
$ time buck build :eclipse
0m48.949s
Import existing project from `pwd`
Import 'gerrit' (do not import other Maven based projects)
Expand 'gerrit'
Right click 'buck-out' > Properties
Under Attributes check 'Derived'
If the code doesn't currently compile but an updated classpath
is needed, refresh the configs and obtain missing JARs:
$ buck build :eclipse_project :download
Running JUnit tests:
$ time buck test --all -e slow # skip slow tests
0m19.320s
$ time buck test --all # includes acceptance tests
5m17.517s
Building WAR:
$ buck build :gerrit
$ java -jar buck-out/gen/gerrit.war
Building release:
$ buck test --all && buck build :api :release
$ java -jar buck-out/gen/release.war
$ ls -lh buck-out/gen/{extension,plugin}-api.jar
Downloading dependencies:
Dependencies are normally downloaded automatically, but Buck can
inspect its graph and download missing dependencies so future
compiles can run without the network:
$ buck build :download
