API java generate source yields error from stone

[jnlcd]

I've read about how to build source in java from: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/API-V2-Java-missing-source-files/m-p/22...

However I follow the steps and it looks like the stone usage from within the build is not running properly.

My log from gitbash:

jan.lacdao@Jan-Lacdao MINGW64 ~/Downloads/dbox/dropbox-sdk-java (master)
$ ./gradlew build

Anyone can help here? Thanks.

Have you made any changes to the Java SDK project? If so, can you let me know what?

Also, for reference, if you don't need to make changes we recommend that you don't build from source. If you don't need to make changes it's much easier to use one of the pre-built releases, e.g., via Maven or Gradle as documented here.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the prompt response. I haven't been maintaining much of our code but it seems that the previous maintainer was adding custom logging upon each retry from the v2 client classes and perhaps adding another class to inherit might be the better approach.

Regardless I think I am good with my setup now and I am good to close this ticket.

Regards,

Jan
