I would love to dump Maven for Gradle. However, I agree with @wido -- we
currently have much higher priorities to address. For me, it is fun to banter
a bit about it in a PR thread. ;)
Changing the Maven structure has other benefits. Not only could we rid
ourselves of the additional code to override the structure, conforming wider
Java idioms and standards it easier for new contributors to understand the
codebase. @wido I agree with your suggestion to make one bulk change. It
would require coordination across the community as it would require a lot of
rebasing once it is merged, but it seems like we would get an economy of scale
on the effort.
