I may try to eliminate these hold overs from the Ant build system because
they weaken the overall build system dependency model. Each module in this
project should be self describing independently of the rest IMHO.
Unless all the Java related modules could be consolidated under a common
Gradle driven project instead of many small separate ones. Then the publication
details can live in a common place instead of 4-5 Ant build.xml files
independently managed.
