I am trying to build OFBiz 18.12.04 on Ubuntu Sever 20.04 and I get the following build failure:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where: Build file '../apache-ofbiz/build.gradle' line: 133
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'ofbiz'. Could not find method metadataSources() for arguments [build_2l69b6atnbul78s6vg112ejpi$_run_closure4$_closure66$_closure70$_closure71@1eeedb6d] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultMavenArtifactRepository.
Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
I've opened up the build.gradle file and line 133 refers to metadataSources() getting an artifact from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/milyn/flute/1.3/flute-1.3.jar. I can follow the link in my browser so my thinking is that it should be available so I don't understand why it is causing the build to fail.
java -version

openjdk version "1.8.0_312"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_312-8u312-b07-0ubuntu1~20.04-b07)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.312-b07, mixed mode)
I am at a loss how to solve this. Can anyone assist?
You should not use Gradle 4.4.1, but follow https://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/site/trunk/readme/html5/README.html#quick-start
Once Gradle jar installed inside gradmle/wrapper it will be OK
The rest seems OK
