Hi, I use Gradle at work since last year and I have to say that's a great tool (simple but powerful and compatible with Maven repositories) !! Many open source projects are switching to it (and others to sbt, similar but mainly for the Scala stack). We could use its wrapper so it's not needed to have it installed.
Jenkins at Apache should have a Gradle plugin, but could be old (and we should start with the latest version, currently 1.6) ... we have to verify. So I think that instead of Maven we could try to move to Gradle, unless objections. Roger, could you add a jira issue for 2.1 for this ? I can try to take a look in next days ... Comments ?
