I'm meaning to say that its confusing to see other options there, I didn't know that the plugin is in a very early stage, and I'm starting a project with Kobalt, would I choose Gradle??

but yes, the Open Project does fine

I’d say Kobalt is in beta right now. It’s pretty solid but lacking plug-ins. It mostly depends on what your project will cover

Will you be needing a lot of plug-ins? I can look into implementing a few for you

Synchronization works after the download simple smile

Honestly, just starting out with Kobalt, I don't think it would be nice to be asking for things without having experienced the tool properly

Fair enough but don’t be shy simple smile

but I would highly suggest implementing some interface feedback for the plugin users, this will really hurt people trying out Kobalt, not many have joined this Slack

Agreed.

I display percentages during the sync, what else would you like to see?

one more thing would be the installation, in the guide the user is directed to downloading the zip and associating it with the environment variable and then running

kobaltw

, its good, but the thing is the zip already contains the jar file and

kobaltw

expects it to be in the ".kobalt" directory which causes it to download the jar which was already in the provided zip. I think the user should be asked to extract the downloaded zip in the ".kobalt" directory in the instructions

or maybe just provide the wrapper and not the distribution jar along with the zip

There’s a reason for this: down the line, that .zip file might contain a lot of things. Right now, you’re right that its content is pretty much what ends up in your

kobalt

directory.

I see

So I think it’s better to download that .zip file somewhere else and when you run it, it will install just what you need in your local

kobalt

directory

That's fair then

Also, the structure of that zip file will probably change if I want to make Kobalt available on sdkman

(sdkman requires it to store files under `kobalt-0.xxx/*`)

oh cool, was thinking about that and forgot

making it available there would be neat!

It’s on Homebrew at least right now

haha would be good for me if I had a Mac

Yeah I figured if you downloaded the zip manually, you’re probably not on Mac OS simple smile

I have one screenshot to share though

There is a lingering bug where sometimes, the server process pins the CPU at 100%, is this happening to you right now?

the Kobalt instance is on the 3rd line, sorry for the cryptic shot 😛

well, that one hasn't yet

that shot is before I did a clean run

I made a fix but haven’t been able to confirm it, so let me know if you see this (and if you do, that process is now launched in debuggable mode, so you can attach a remote debugger to it)
