On the other hand I have seen none stay with Ant or Maven given the option of Gradle. Those that stayed were told they didn't have an option – for no good technical reason, just management "don't touch anything" attitude. > All our customers are on Ant and Maven. Maven I can sort of live with but only on double pay. Ant is beyond the pale in 2015. It was a late 1990s hack due to Make hatred. > Personally I don't see any value on Gradle, besides having more > time to fetch coffee. I see huge value in Gradle as a replacement for Maven (and Ant of course). I have never seen the massive slow downs you intimate, for projects I have seen with both Maven and Gradle builds, the Gradle builds were a little slower, but the scripts were far, far easier to maintain since al the imperative things were in the build scripts not in additional Java plugins. But this might be just a bikeshed issue. I have no intention of giving up on Gradle and SCons, I am intransigent. :-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
