Apologies for not reading the whole convo, but I have to stop here for
lack of time and want to put in two cents.

Gradle and Maven repositories are simple directory structures, if I
recall correctly. It's possible that they could be maintained in
freenet for security reasons. A maven pom can describe what
repositories it pulls from. That alone might be a security reason to
move away from ant. And if we're moving, don't move to maven. Gradle is
overtaking maven for good reasons.

yyyup. I actually spent over an hour last night trying to build
Freenet. I may or may not be able to come back to it tonight, but it's
definitely frustrating that it doesn't compile yet.
