09/09/2015, 2:11 AMThe places where this was desirable were like - b

09/09/2015, 2:11 AMnot having to write a whole plugin to address a non-target - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:11 AMAnd it can be done, but it requires the use of extremely magical proxies - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:12 AMIt was unclear whether the generality made up for the magic - e

09/09/2015, 2:12 AMWe have persistent and refreshed calls for SourceSets - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:12 AMBecause the "pointer" resolution must be lazy - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:13 AMIt also meant that the order in which things were defined in BUILD files theoretically mattered - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:13 AMReally? The Addressables should resolve like and act like Targets with 0 dependencies - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:13 AMexactly the same - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:13 AMYeah, but when is it resolved? - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:14 AMvia the current special methods in target - w
witty-crayon-22786
09/09/2015, 2:14 AMwhy can't a sourceset be a target? - e

enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:14 AMYou already solved that part - w
witty-crayon-22786
09/09/2015, 2:14 AMit wouldn't be a dep: it would be your sources parameter - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:15 AMBuildGraph just assumes all the Addressables are Targets - that's all - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:15 AMForget SourceSet - w
witty-crayon-22786
09/09/2015, 2:15 AMwell, i think we need a concrete usecase here, right? - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:15 AMThere are some things to address that do not have dependencies by definition - e

09/09/2015, 2:15 AMwhat is not a target, but is addressable in a build file? - e

witty-crayon-22786
09/09/2015, 2:16 AMwhy is a target without dependencies not a target? - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:16 AMI believe it's really the anonymity that matters here - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:16 AMIs that true?
