+# Mirth Connect Gradle Orchestrator Build Configuration
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the comprehensive orchestrator build configuration that replicates the functionality of the original `server/mirth-build.xml` file using Gradle. The orchestrator manages the entire build process with proper dependencies and file copying between modules.
+
+## Orchestrator Tasks Implemented
+
+### Core Build Tasks
+
+1. **`build-donkey`** - Build donkey and copy JARs to server/lib/donkey
+   - Builds the donkey module
+   - Copies donkey-model.jar and donkey-server.jar to server/lib/donkey
+   - Copies donkey lib dependencies with specific exclusions
+
+2. **`build-webadmin`** - Build webadmin and copy WAR to server setup
+   - Builds the webadmin module
+   - Copies webadmin.war to both server/build/webapps and server/setup/webapps
+
+3. **`build-server-extensions`** - Build server extensions and copy shared JARs to client/lib
+   - Depends on build-donkey
+   - Builds server extensions via copyExtensionsToSetup task
+   - Copies shared extension JARs (*-shared.jar) to client/lib
+
+4. **`build-client`** - Build client and copy JARs/extensions to server setup
+   - Depends on build-server-extensions
+   - Copies required JARs to client/lib before building
+   - Builds the client module
+   - Copies client artifacts to server setup directories
+
+5. **`build-manager`** - Build manager and copy to server setup
+   - Depends on build-client
+   - Copies required JARs to manager/lib before building
+   - Builds the manager module
+   - Copies manager artifacts to server setup
+
+6. **`build-cli`** - Build CLI and copy to server setup
+   - Depends on build-client
+   - Copies required JARs to command/lib before building
+   - Builds the command module
+   - Copies CLI artifacts and configuration to server setup
+
+### Main Orchestration Tasks
+
+1. **`orchestratorBuild`** - Main build target that orchestrates everything
+   - Depends on build-manager, build-cli, build-webadmin, and server:createSetup
+   - Copies extensions and client-lib to server build directory
+   - Runs tests via finalizedBy
+
+2. **`build`** - Enhanced default build task
+   - Overrides the default Gradle build task to use orchestratorBuild
+   - Maintains compatibility with standard Gradle workflows
+
+3. **`dist`** - Distribution creation target
+   - Creates distribution by copying server setup to server/dist
+   - Displays application version information
+
+### Utility Tasks
+
+1. **`test-run`** - Run tests across all modules
+    - Runs tests for donkey and server modules
+    - Provides status reporting for test execution
+
+2. **`remove-classes`** - Clean compiled classes across all modules
+    - Executes clean task for all subprojects
+    - Provides comprehensive cleanup
+
+3. **`append-license`** - License header management
+    - Processes Java files in all modules
+    - Adds license headers to files that don't have them
+    - Respects module-specific exclusions
+
+4. **`build-custom`** - Build custom extensions
+    - Placeholder for custom extensions build
+    - Checks for custom-extensions.xml file
+
+5. **`initOrchestrator`** - Initialize orchestrator properties and directories
+    - Creates necessary directory structure
+    - Sets up build environment
+
+## Task Aliases
+
+For convenience, camelCase aliases are provided for all main tasks:
+
+- `buildDonkey` → `build-donkey`
+- `buildWebadmin` → `build-webadmin`
+- `buildServerExtensions` → `build-server-extensions`
+- `buildClient` → `build-client`
+- `buildManager` → `build-manager`
+- `buildCli` → `build-cli`
+- `testRun` → `test-run`
+- `removeClasses` → `remove-classes`
+- `appendLicense` → `append-license`
+- `buildCustom` → `build-custom`
+
+## Build Order and Dependencies
+
+The orchestrator maintains the exact build order from the original Ant build:
+
+```bash
+donkey → server extensions → client → manager/cli → webadmin
+```
+
+### Dependency Chain
+
+1. `build-donkey` (no dependencies)
+2. `build-server-extensions` (depends on build-donkey)
+3. `build-client` (depends on build-server-extensions)
+4. `build-manager` and `build-cli` (both depend on build-client)
+5. `build-webadmin` (independent)
+6. `orchestratorBuild` (depends on build-manager, build-cli, build-webadmin)
+
+## File Copying Operations
+
+The orchestrator replicates all file copying operations from the original build:
+
+### Donkey to Server
+
+- `donkey/setup/donkey-model.jar` → `server/lib/donkey/`
+- `donkey/setup/donkey-server.jar` → `server/lib/donkey/`
+- `donkey/lib/*` → `server/lib/donkey/` (with exclusions)
+
+### Server Extensions to Client
+
+- `server/build/extensions/**/*-shared.jar` → `client/lib/` (flattened)
+
+### Client Dependencies
+
+- `donkey/setup/donkey-model.jar` → `client/lib/`
+- `server/setup/server-lib/mirth-client-core.jar` → `client/lib/`
+- `server/setup/server-lib/mirth-crypto.jar` → `client/lib/`
+- `server/lib/mirth-vocab.jar` → `client/lib/`
+
+### Client to Server Setup
+
+- `client/build/libs/client.jar` → `server/setup/client-lib/mirth-client.jar`
+- `client/lib/*` → `server/setup/client-lib/` (excluding shared JARs)
+- `client/dist/extensions/*` → `server/setup/extensions/`
+
+### Manager to Server Setup
+
+- `manager/dist/mirth-manager-launcher.jar` → `server/setup/`
+- `manager/lib/*` → `server/setup/manager-lib/` (excluding mirth-client.jar)
+
+### CLI to Server Setup
+
+- `command/build/mirth-cli.jar` → `server/setup/cli-lib/`
+- `command/build/mirth-cli-launcher.jar` → `server/setup/`
+- `command/lib/*` → `server/setup/cli-lib/` (excluding mirth-client.jar)
+- `command/conf/mirth-cli-config.properties` → `server/setup/conf/`
+- `command/conf/log4j2-cli.properties` → `server/setup/conf/`
+
+### Final Integration
+
+- `server/setup/extensions/*` → `server/build/extensions/`
+- `server/setup/client-lib/*` → `server/build/client-lib/`
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Build Everything
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build
+# or
+./gradlew orchestratorBuild
+```
+
+### Build Specific Components
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build-donkey
+./gradlew build-client
+./gradlew build-manager
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+./gradlew test-run
+```
+
+### Clean Everything
+
+```bash
+./gradlew remove-classes
+```
+
+### Create Distribution
+
+```bash
+./gradlew dist
+```
+
+### Add License Headers
+
+```bash
+./gradlew append-license
+```
+
+## Integration with Existing Gradle Build
+
+The orchestrator integrates seamlessly with the existing Gradle build system:
+
+- Uses existing module build.gradle.kts files
+- Leverages existing task dependencies
+- Maintains compatibility with standard Gradle commands
+- Preserves individual module build capabilities
+
+## Key Features
+
+1. **Exact Replication**: Replicates all functionality from the original mirth-build.xml
+2. **Proper Dependencies**: Maintains correct build order and dependencies
+3. **File Management**: Handles all file copying operations accurately
+4. **Error Handling**: Provides proper error handling and status reporting
+5. **Flexibility**: Supports both individual component builds and full orchestration
+6. **Compatibility**: Works with existing Gradle ecosystem and tooling
+
+## Directory Structure Created
+
+The orchestrator automatically creates the following directory structure:
+
+```bash
+server/
+├── lib/donkey/
+├── setup/
+│   ├── webapps/
+│   ├── client-lib/
+│   ├── extensions/
+│   ├── manager-lib/
+│   ├── cli-lib/
+│   └── conf/
+└── build/
+    ├── webapps/
+    ├── extensions/
+    └── client-lib/
+```
+
+This comprehensive orchestrator build configuration provides a complete Gradle-based replacement for the original Ant build system while maintaining full compatibility and functionality.
