Hey Garry, My personal opinion is that we should keep hello-samza as Maven for now. The goal with hello-samza is to make Samza as approachable as possible, and since I think Maven is still a more popular build system than Gradle at the moment (no supporting data on this, though), I think it's more user-friendly to keep it this way.
What are other people's thoughts? I could live with it in Gradle, I just think it's easier for a broader audience to get started with Maven.
