----------------------------------------
Hi Pierre,
I understand your concerns, reverting and removing and reaplying a such patch
is not easy at 1st glance. But as long as you keep the .gradle part (so you
don't need to manipulate the Gradle wrapper), and (for me at least) keep the
.gradle and build svn:ignore properties, it's not so hard as well since, in
Eclipse, you can also exclude keeped files when patching. I know what I'm
talking about, I just did it with the last patch, all works perfectly, even
stuff like "gradlew svnInfoFooter"
I also don't think a branch is required. Apart few minor changes in Java code,
it's mostly adds. Ant will still be in place with no Ant related changes (in
builds, etc.)
Also there are some good changes, for instance see the NOTICE file. One thing
is the removing of Eclipsthe .classpath and .project file. But it's a breeze to
recreate them using "gradlew eclipse".
README.MD is better than README but we will maybe need to remove it later
rather than now.
I have no ideas about "mvnrepository vs jcenter" (ie did not look at it). I
guess Taher picked jcenter because it's in relation with Gradle.
