I'd say aim at integrating it sooner than later. I think everyone realizes switching a build system isn't a minor deal; I'd expect some things to not work right away. And even if something doesn't work, there may be more hands willing to help out if it's a particular person's itch. ;) Gradle is a powerful toy and I personally find it fun to work with, even if it drives me crazy sometimes when I can't figure out why something doesn't work the way I think it should. :) Dawid On Sat, Jun 8, 2019 at 12:59 AM Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Since I have heard no objection, I've continued working on moving the project > from ant+ivy+maven to gradle. > > At this point I've contributed significant time to this project.
